Should check out Breathing Space?

Yes - both "Coming Up For Air" and this year's "Below The Radar" are superb albums, and they're a great live act (although they don't tend to play outside the north and the midlands much)

By the way Tim, is that Mostly Autumn's Heather Findlay on your Avatar??

It is indeed - it's a photo I took from the front row at Bury Met two years ago. See also the quote I'm using as a tagline on my blog.

OMS, The Enid, Sheets of Blue

and beer was

Meanwhile, back in

Bigelf - Money Machine

Saw them on the Progressive Nation tour last night. They play Hammond-heavy hard rock in the vein of Uriah Heep and Atomic Rooster.

Marillion - Less is More. Semi-acoustic reworkings of existing songs, actually really good.

Last night, prog veterans The Enid live at the Band On The Wall in Manchester. Great show, even if they didn't do "Wild Thing".

Tomorrow - Dream Theater and Opeth at Manchester Apollo.

Every forum has to have this thread. I'm sure there's a rule somewhere stating that fact.

UFO - The Visitor

Breathing Space - Below the Radar

The Bad Shepherds - Yan, Tan, Tethera, Metherer

Epica - The Divine Conspiracy

and last night, IQ live at The Met, Bury.
