Mick,

Sending my best wishes for a speedy recovery.

At last. I can break silence
The opening 'Fanfare for the Common Man' seemed like they were practising - the brass section was awful and sometimes jarring. The vocalists were extremely poor throughout, with the exception of Vanessa Haynes who blew me away with Floyd's 'Great Gig in the Sky'
I've never really been a fan of Carl Palmer as he's seems too 'showy'.

Having said all that, there's a vast amount of material to be tapped into and I'd like to see this become an annual or maybe bi annual event but it needs attention.

That really brassed me off, especially as the broadcast finished 5-6 minutes before it's scheduled finish

Mick,

Do get well soon my friend.

I'd just like to point out, however, that the 'other' moderator moved the discussion from "General discussion" to "...Help with Problems...".

Make of that what you will.

Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery Mick.

Get well soon Mick.

I am afraid it is a thumbs down from me for the Prog Rock Proms (just watched it), a few things just about worked but overall IMO the choice of singers was poor - most of whom I hadn't heard of. The orchestral arrangements were some what flat at times with no one really seeming to be enjoying themselves. There have been much better crossover Proms and this one just didn't gel.

PPS Peter Hammill was awful.

Hi

I,m 100% behind all the good wishes made so far and add my 10% too. Get well soon, best wishes Norman

All the best for a speedy recovery, Mick.

Was a bit worried when I saw that in notices. Glad to know he's just under repair, and hope he's back happy soon. Maybe they'll tighten any screws he has loose
