Michael Brook

I know there are very many people who like the same music that I do, and I like to pass on suggestions for others you may like in a similar vein, others perhaps a bit more obscure, not because I make anything from it but because I want to share great music with you.

Years ago I had the pleasure of seeing David Sylvian and Robert Fripp live at the Royal Albert Hall. Opening the show and also playing with the band was Michael Brook.

Renaissance

It’s my opinion that Britain lead the world with progressive rock (“prog rock”) music. Think of the most famous of bands from the 1970s, Genesis, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, The Moody Blues, Jethro Tull, ELP, even late Beatles.

There were plenty of other UK bands who never quite hit the biggest time, but were just as good and had their fans, such as Gentle Giant, Barclay James Harvest, Yes and more.

One such band I was a big fan of was, and still am is Renaissance.
