This latest show is a preview of this year’s Summer’s End Progressive Rock Festival, which is taking place on the 5th-8th of October, in Chepstow. You’ll be hearing from Stephen Lambe & Huw Lloyd-Jones, the festival organisers, who will be talking about this year’s festival and previewing the line-up, plus we’ll have tracks from most of the bands performing over the four days, plus I’ll be suggesting some acts for future years of the festival. There’s also a return to our new Prog Magazine feature and I’ll also be reflecting on this year’s Supersonic Festival and making some early announcements about next year’s EppyFest 11, so lots to enjoy as part of a typically eclectic playlist.
