Hi all, Thought I'd just drop a quick link in here promoting my friend's new video podcast series 'Communication Breakdown' that he's just launched with a series of interviews with classic prog musicians during lockdown. He's got new interviews coming up over the next few weeks with Nektar, Focus, Curved Air and Wishbone Ash to name a few. The first episode interviews Gentle Giant frontman Derek Shulman, and you can find it broken down into individual segments or as a full interview. On The Upcoming Gentle Giant Virtual Reunion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a7MgmFTw-s" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a7MgmFTw-s On The Idea Behind 'Octopus': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIlFMu2b6n0" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIlFMu2b6n0 On When Syd Barrett 'outed' Simon Dupree: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTPMS4yYsfs" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTPMS4yYsfs FULL INTERVIEW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP642xnqjsc" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP642xnqjsc He's also released it on Spotify as an audio podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4wNhrgOcpNSsqOpLRBymof?si=cnicFIu_RSeAb89pVVi7nA" rel="nofollow - https://open.spotify.com/show/4wNhrgOcpNSsqOpLRBymof?si=cnicFIu_RSeAb89pVVi7nA His plan is to catch up with as many of the classic bands as possible during and post-lockdown to see what's up with them in this current stage in their careers. From there he's planning to move into different eras and genres. Give it a watch and see what you think!

This is great, many thanks indeed. Gentle Giant are a band I have only started to listen recently and want to know more about them. Sure that will enjoy exploring these links. Good to be reminded of the Simon Dupree and the Big Sound connection, think that the single 'Kites' is lovely. But I can see how the band got tired of it and the fact that they got associated with the one song.

I have subscribed to this channel. Just been watching the Thijs Van Leer ( Focus) interview. Excellent Love the story about how Focus got locked up in Spain after going a bit wild in a hotel.

Yes noticed the Martin Turner interview . Wishbone Ash are a band that I am not familiar with. But great to see that the Communication Breakdown channel has interviewed Nektar , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQn-FTQL06g&list=PLEkgnbs2tfvonqscNK6gB3U0-nLA3g8XF&index=36" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQn-FTQL06g&list=PLEkgnbs2tfvoNqscNK6gB3U0-nLA3g8XF&index=36
