I loved the flute work on Atomic Rooster 'Winter' It did become one of my early flute classics, given that I was into heavy metal at that time!

Too much Tommy Vance would have made you a real metalhead.
Hehe ... I'm joking !
I was a big fan of "The Friday Rock Show" at that time in the early eighties.
And not for the heavy metal but because he also played NEW PROG stuff like The Enid, Pallas, Twelft Night, Magnum, .....
Do you know what happened with that show ? Why it has to stop ??

Hi Erik,
with the advent of Thrash Metal etc Tommy was replaced and the show died. Tommy moved to Virgin fm but never rekindled the flame. He unfortunately passed away in 2005, a very sad day for rock fans. I agree it was aimed at heavy rock, but it was where I mellowed and matured hearing the likes of Eloy, Saga, Van Der Graaf generator, Planet P etc. I have added a dedication to Tommy for the Moon anniversary on Friday. My Friday Nights have never been the same!
