Neo-prog supergroup NEO has a new DVD out

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

A recording of a show by the supergroup NEO: a band formed by such
prog-rock veterans as Mark Westwood (the Martin Orford Band), Clive
Nolan (Arena, Pendragon, Shadowland), John Jowitt (IQ, Jadis) and Andy
Edwards (IQ). During that spectacular gig, filmed at the Wyspianski
Theater in Katowice, Poland, the band offered for the enjoyment of neo
progressive sound lovers songs from the repertoire of Shadowland,
Arena, IQ, Pallas, and Pendragon. As Clive Nolan comments, NEO’s main
aim was to “try and brake some new frontiers (…) and to represent these
bands and so to get the people who haven’t seen them to get an idea
what they’re about.”
Also, the gig featured a guest appearance of two other eminent
prog-rock figures: Pendragon’s vocalist/guitarist Nick Barrett and
Pallas’ vocalist Alan Reed.
The DVD also includes an interview with John Jowitt and Clive Nolan,
as also bonus video footage from the band’s soundcheck at ROSfest. Also
available in a limited swing case edition, including a CD with songs
recorded at the concert!
