The last Prog n Roll radio show of 2018 (30/12/2018). The playlist and more...

Hello all!
  Last night, after a 2-week break, the last Prog n Roll radio show of 2018 was online, with a special show that we prepared for our listeners.
  If you read the previous post, you'll see that, a few weeks ago we told them that they could ask for an "epic" song, and we were going to play it during the last show of the year. Some people responded, many others didn't. So, last night's playlist was created by our listeners completely.
  Also, we had 2 brand new songs to play in a worldwide radio premiere, that were sent to us by some of our listeners who are members in the bands Gandalf's Fist and Drifting Sun.
  Because we had lots of long songs, last night's show was an extended one. It begun half hour earlier, and it finished 20 minutes later than the usual time.
  From the first minutes I realized that it was going to be a great show, not only because I already knew the playlist, but also because I saw that there were many people gathered, all of them in a very good and jolly mood.  
And I was right! The whole thing was a blast! Everybody was having fun, chating, laughing, and the almost 3 hours of the show passed really quickly!
 We had people listening from Greece, Northern Ireland, Germany, England, USA and even Australia!
 I must say that I am very pleased with the whole show, the music, the audience, the fun, everything!
Here you can take a look at the complete playlist:

URIAH HEEP: July Morning / KARNATAKA: The Gathering Light / CALIGULA’S HORSE: Dragonfly / PATCHWORK CACOPHONY: Brand New Day / MARILLION: The Invisible Man / MONKEY3: Icarus / THE RE-STONED: Faces of Earth / EVERSHIP: Ultima Thule / GANDALF’S FIST: Leader of Men / RAINBOW: Stargazer / OUTLAWS: Green Grass & High Tide / DRIFTING SUN: Cascading Tears / GENESIS: The Knife (Live).
  I would like to thank all those people who are listening and supporting our show, cause their love and devotion gives us the stength to carry on and always try to improve.
  Prog n Roll will be on air again on Sunday the 6th of January 2019, where we are going to present the best releases of 2018, according to our taste of course.
Have a great New Year's Eve everybody!
Thank you all!

Prog n Roll radio show returns with a special "epic" show! (Sunday 30/12/2018).

Hello all!
  After a 2-week break, the internet radio show Prog n Roll returns on the 30th of December for the last show of 2018. 
  We wanted to make something special, so we asked from our listeners to request one "epic" song each, and we promised that we will play their request during the last show of 2018. 
(With the term "epic" we mean songs that are over 10 minutes in length).
  Many people responded, but many others (thank God) didn't. Because we already gathered a good amount of songs to play, and because all of them are long enough, the show is going to be an extended one. I can't imagine what would happen if more people were deciding to send us their requests. Most probably we would have to make a 4-hour-long show, or something like that.
  Especially for the occasion, Prog n Roll will begin half hour earlier, and probably will finish half hour later than usual. So, we are talking about an almost 3-hour-long show.
 But that's not all. We also have 2 small surprises prepared for our listeners, but I can't say more on the matter.
  So, this Sunday the 30th of December, tune in to Prog n Roll, for some good music and some very warm company on the chatbox.
  The show will begin at 19.30 UK time (20.30 CET), and as I wrote above, it will last for almost 3 hours.
  I'm reminding you that Prog n Rol is a live bilingual broadcast.
If you care to listen, just click on the following link on Sunday, at the hour I mentioned above.

I hope to "see" some of you there.
Thank you very much!

PETER MURPHY & DAVID J (BAUHAUS), live in Athens (14/12/2018). The complete setlist...

  As I wrote in my previous post, a few days ago, the singer and the bass player of Bauhaus gave a concert in Athens, celebrating the 40 years since the release of the band's debut album In the Flat Filed. They actually did a long tour celebrating the release of that album, that ended in Greece with one concert in Athens and one of Thessaloniki, the next day.
  I went to the Athen's gig and I really enjoyed it. Ok, I wasn't expecting to see Peter Murphy like he used to be 20 years ago, so I can say I was pleased with the band's overall performance.   My only complain is that, for some unknown reason, they skipped the 2nd encore that they usually did in their previous performances. So, we missed the chance to listen to Ziggy Stardust and Telegram Sam.
 But further than that, the concert was good, and the setlist was including many of the band's finest moments.
Here you can check the complete setlist:

Double Dare
In The Flat Field
A God In An Alcove
Dive
Spy in the Cab
Small Talk Stinks
St. Vitus Dance
Stigmata Martyr
Nerves
Burning From The Inside
Silent Hedges
Bela Lugosi's Dead
She's In Parties
Adrenalin
Kick In The Eye
The Passion Of Lovers

Encore:
King Volcano
Kingdom's Coming
Severance (Dead Can Dance cover)

Here's Bela Lugosi's Dead, live from Athens:

PETER MURPHY & DAVID J of BAUHAUS Live in Greece (14/15-12-2018)

Hello all!
  After a long break, here I am again to inform you about two very interesting gigs that will take place in Athens and Thessaloniki after 10 days.
  The former members of Bauhaus, Peter Murphy (vocals) and David J (bass), are celebrating the 40 years of the release of their debut album In the Flat Field, with a long tour that will end in Greece. The playlist will be including the whole album, together with some selected songs from the other albums of Bauhaus, plus a few cover versions. (Usually the play cover versions from David Bowie, T.Rex and Dead Can Dance).
  The concert in Athens will take place on the 14th of December, and one day later they will play in Thessaloniki.
  I have seen Bauhaus many years ago in London, and it was a great experience! So, the minute I learn about that concert, I bought my ticket, and now I'm just counting the days. The pre-sale for the Athens concert is hoing very well as it seemes, cause a few days ago they announced that the gig will take place at another much bigger venue.
  So, if you live in Athens or you are just visiting, here's an event that you shouldn't miss, if you are into this kind of music and especially if you like Bauhaus.
  The tickets prices begin from 34€ for the Athen's gig, and 32€ for Thessaloniki. In case you are interested, here's a link where you can buy your ticket online: https://www.viva.gr/tickets/music/gazi-music-hall-principal-club-theater/peter-murphy-40-years-of-bauhaus-en/
