Ye Gods!
The Greyhound in Croydon was a great venue. I, too, used to go there in the early 70s and saw plenty of gigs such as Wishbone Ash at the Fairfield Halls too. I expect I literally bumped into you there (I was always very clumsy
)
We have another guy from Perth who goes under the handle of Nice_Man he sometimes comes into the chat room and I hope you do too. Always a place to chat about ANYTHING (and I do mean ANYTHING).
Glad you like the station. Avian, progdirjim, Roger.lee, Extended Play, Sean (Prog Shores) and Yesspaz (BrainRock) do us proud and look after things really well.
Write and tell us about the prog scene in Australia. I've really gotten into Sebastian Hardie since listening to The Moon. Are there any other "Down Under" bands worth looking out for. Start a new thread and watch the comments fly.
