On
19 December 2004 the second Dutch Prog Nite will be organized in "The
Spirit of '66" in Verviers, Belgium. Last year, the Dutch bands Nice
Beaver, Flamborough Head and Plackband were invited to play, and this
year the Dutch bands Mangrove and ........ again Plackband will perfom
(after many requests)! Mangrove will start the concert. This
relatively young prog band has made a very positive impression with
their albums “Cold World” and “Massive Hollowness” and has a promising
future.
So, there will be playing two excellent bands who will get ample opportunity to present themselves.

for details as they are confirmed. The first to be confirmed is: Download 2 unreleased Pink Floyd Songs! "King Bee" and "Lucy Leave" were recorded in October or November 1965 but were never released as they were not believed to be up to standard. They were simply "test recordings". Some people in the Pink Floyd community have suggested they might be fakes but EMI engineer Phil Smee has no doubt about their authenticity: "These are the demos that Peter Jenner said were not good enough to submit to anyone". You can download these two song on the forum from the link below. If you haven't registered to use the forum it only takes a moment. Use the relevant links below. VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR TO PLAY REUNION CONCERT Hugh Banton, Guy Evans, Peter Hammill and David Jackson will perform at the Royal Festival Hall in London on May 6th 2005. Tickets are available from the RFH ticket office (www.rfh.org.uk). After the "classic" line-up got together and played "Still Life" at the end of Peter Hammill's solo gig at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in February 2003, the guys started thinking about playing and recording together again. In September, after a summer of email exchanges, they held a band meeting and planned a get-together for February 2004 at Pyworthy in Devon. Peter Hammill's heart attack threatened to scupper these plans but having made a speedy recovery they went ahead. This wasn't an exercise in nostalgia and no old Van der Graaf material was played all week but instead a serious amount of jamming went on and work done on several new numbers. During the summer of 2004, Hammill, with input from the other three, worked to put together a double CD for release in the early part of 2005. Whilst the Royal Festival Hall gig is a one-off, there is talk of further gigs as long as the vibe remains favourable, and more recording in the Autumn. Arena are proud to announce that they will be headlining on Friday April 29th 2005 at the ROSFest in America. This may well be their only appearance before the full Arena tour in September/October 2005, and it will double as a release concert for their new album, Pepper's Ghost, as well as kicking off celebrations for their tenth anniversary year. Due to Bassist Ian Salmon being unable to make this gig, John Jowitt will has kindly agreed to step into the breach for this one off event. The new album will be released on January 17th 2005 Pepper´s Ghost (2005)
Initial pressing is housed in a stylish digibook!
