BLOODY WELL WRITE

Missives, musings and tweets from Planet Prog.

Thank you for the excellent feature on Peter Hammill [Prog 119]. I’ve been a big fan since I first heard Sleepwalkers. I had the good fortune to see Van der Graaf Generator a few years ago in Glasgow. They’re coming to Edinburgh next year so I hope the tour will not be cancelled.

It was nice to read about the 19-yearold Niamh Burnett [in Have A Cigar]. Such an inspiration. I’m sure more people her age would like prog rock if they just took time to listen. It’s a shame she took some stick from so-called ‘prog fans’. These people are narrow-minded fashion victims, so I wish her all the best.

There are a couple of bands I would like to see featured in Prog. One band are called Devil Doll, the other are Swans. Both are truly progressive.

I’m just glad to have a magazine like Prog so keep up the good work.

Campbell, Troon
