Hi gang!

Your old pal WaterDigsTunes just realized that 70s Irish proggers Peggy's Leg aren't in PA.  Guitarist Jimi Slevin seems to have made the cut, so why not his band? Their sound leans towards the folk-prog side of things, favouring acoustic textures, clear vocals and occasional wah guitar. Their sole album, 1973's Grinilla, was one of those rarities that most people thought never actually existed until it was reissued in 2001. Here's some samples:

I'm not sure about best category fit since it's quite eclectic without really being Eclectic to these ears, but definitely Prog.  Reminds me of Yes, amongst others, particularly in "Into the Nightmare"....

Good one. I'll mention it to the Prog Folk team.

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

Nice stuff indeed, good find Walter. Let's see what the PF team says about this suggestion, IMO Greg is right.
