YOUR SHOUT!

From 80s pin-up to a key member of Saucerful Of Secrets, is Gary Kemp worthy of the prog moniker? It’s over to you!

“I was sceptical about his involvement with Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets, but having seen them play live, the whole thing works really well and will be seeing them again at the rescheduled concerts – so it’s a thumbs-up from me.”

GARY SHEPHERD

“He’s done a good job with Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets. The Spands were part of the early 80s, not sure what Kemp’s done between then and now.”

CAROLE FLINT

“Through The Barricades is quite epic, I think.” MARCEL B

“Erm, no.” RICH GOODALL

“I was blown away by his performance of early Floyd music in Saucerful Of Secrets. He’s clearly served his time with his love of prog.”

GORDON ROBERTSON

“Just because someone was once in Spandau Ballet doesn’t mean he has to remain a prat all his life.” JOHN HERDMAN

“Now I know you are taking the piss. Might even stop buying the magazine if this is the way it’s going. What next? Boy George taking Rick Wakeman’s place in any group?”

STEVE HARRISON

“Not only can Gary play, he can write too. He is an extremely talented musician and a nice guy as well. If they weren’t made tongue-in-cheek, some of the comments here so far are really laughable and say more about the posters than they do Gary Kemp.”

KEITH WAYE

“Being on the Nick Mason album is probably the only link – listening to his solo stuff it’s kind of bland adult pop. Could see it being played on Wogan or Pebble Mill covered in dry ice.”

ANDREW MARTYN

“Gary Kemp channels David Gilmour perfectly! Who knew!”

CHRIS RAMSBOTTOM RAMPLING

“Spandau Ballet had their proggy moments, but simply by dint of his current association with Mr Mason, he’s as prog as [redacted].”

HAMISH KUZMINSKI

“Not sure prog by association gives him credentials – I mean Cliff Richard had Alan Park of Beggars Opera on keys…”

DAVID HALL

“Big prog fan who was corrupted by punk but has since redeemed himself by playing all the fantastic early Floyd songs that Dave and Roger refuse to do, and he does them wonderfully.”

CHRIS BEMBRIDGE

“A talented musician no matter what genre. Also, he has good teeth.”

NELLIE PITTS

“Works for me.” JEFF COOPER
