The last PROG & ROLL radio show of the season, including the annual Top-10 song list. (30/7/17)

  Last night the last Prog & Roll radio show of this season (2016-2017) was on air, at 20.00 UK time as usual.
  Because it was the last show before the summer break, we presented the Top-10 song list, as it was created by our listeners during the last 10 months that our show was on air. (If you scroll the page down, you can read the previous post, where I am explaining how this Top-10 list was made).
  So, after the first part, where we played mostly new stuff, we begun playing the songs that won the 'Song of the Month' contests, from October 2016, until July 2017. And at the end of the show, we played a funny and pleasant song as a surprise to our listeners. (As it seemed it was highly appreciated!).
So, here you can take a look at last night's special playlist:

Part 1: SIENA ROOT: Tales of Independence / PATCHWORK CACOPHONY: Maybe / MAGIC BUS: Trail to Canaa / BIG BIG TRAIN: The Second Brighter Star.

Parts 2-3-4: TOP-10: CAMEL: Nimrodel / JOHN LENNON: Imagine / DIO: The Last in Line / PINK FLOYD: Shine on You Crazy Diamond (Pt.1) / ROXY MUSIC: If There is Something (Live) / PORCUPINE TREE: Trains / QUEEN: Don’t Stop Me now / PORCUPINE TREE: Shesmovedon / BLACK SABBATH: Heaven & Hell / GENESIS: Firth of Fifth.

Bonus: MONTY PYTHON: Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

Prog & Roll will be back for the new season, at mid-September. 

Thank you all very much!

Enjoy your holidays!

PROG & ROLL radio show presents: The annual Top-10 song list...

Hello all! :-)
  I am writing this piece in order to inform you about the following subject:
  On this Sunday the 30th of July, Prog & Roll will be on air with the last show of this season, which is going to be a special one. The reason is that, we are going to present Prog & Roll's Top-10 song list, as it was created by our listeners throughout the last 10 months that our show was active. So, we got 10 songs for 10 months, one song for each month.
  As some of you know already, during our shows, we are playing with our listeners the "grade the song" game, and at the end of each month, we have the 'Song of the Month' contest, where they are grading the most famous songs of the whole month once more. And the one that will gather the highest average score, is announced as the 'Song of the Month'. 
  So, this season's Top-10 song list is including all the songs that won in that contest. 
And since the season is reached at its end, it is the time to present the Top -10 in this final show.
As you can understand, the playlist will be including really great songs, so try not to miss this show!
  I would like to remind you that, Prog & Roll is a live bilingual broadcast, which you can listen to online, on Sunday evening at 20.00 UK time.

I hope to "see" you there! :-)
Thank you!

PROG & ROLL welcomes CELLAR NOISE from Milan (9/7/17)

Hello all!
  I am writting this piece in order to inform you that, on Sunday the 9th of July, we are going to have the members of the very talented Italian band Cellar Noise as "guests" on Prog & Roll's chatbox. 
As it seems, this is going to be the last time that we will have guests in our show before our Summer break, because there are very few shows left.
  Cellar Noise released their debut album in 2017, and so far, is one of the best releases of the

year.
The album's name is Alight, and in case you are interested, take a look at small piece I wrote about it a few weeks ago: http://gfreedomathina.blogspot.gr/2017/06/cellar-noise-alight-2017.html
  We prepared a playlist especially for the ocassion, that is including 4 songs from Alight, mixed with many other beautiful songs.
  So, if you are free and in the mood on Sunday the 9th of July, tune in to Prog & Roll, for some good music and a very friendly atmosphere on the chatbox. You will also have the opportunity to "meet" the members of this very good Italian band.
I would like to remind you that, Prog & Roll is a live broadcast, and it comes on air at 20.00 UK time. Here's the link of the radio station: www.justincaseradio.com
I hope to "see" some of you there!
Thank you!
