Author Kev Rowland features on Tracy Hitchings' podcast "Tracy's Prog World" - Episode 14

 



Author Kev Rowland has just been interviewed by Tracy Hitchings for her podcast, which will be published in three episodes - the first of which can be found here https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/tracys-prog-world/s1-ep14-kev-rowland-author-zfSg3Om_aLd/, or wherever you normally source your podcasts. In many ways this is returning a favour as Rowland interviewed Tracy as long ago as 1993, and she appears multiple times in his series of books on the Progressive Underground as a solo artist, frontwoman for Quasar and Landmarq, as well as many other album appearances.

A wonderful conversation between two old friend catching up for the first time in many years this is a thoroughly enjoyable listen for anyone remotely interested in music.


ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Kev Rowland writes the prog new Testament, "The Progressive Rock Underground".  Chas Sniding  wrote the Old testament, "The Strawberry Bricks guide to Progressive Rock."   There is just eight years missing!  

How it all began . . . FISH is tall and imposing!  John Wetton is remembered, Emerson Lake and Palmar, are a waste of electricity., and Who in the Prog World made Kev Rowland cry?

An 'Unexpected Guest' causes embarrassment.  Clive Nolan is unprepared and Damian Wilson is very excited. Lemmy (from MotorHead) was devastated, as the 'Golden Lyon' becomes the 'Golden Arches,' and Geoff Mann is remembered.

Join me with a light hearted chit chat with Kev Rowland - the walking, talking Prog Encyclopaedia, and so much more!

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
