And......iv. There was a bloody good band on stage! distracting everyone.

If you need convincing about the band there are videos on Youtube! (don't let anyone know)

Not really a radio station but whilst surfing I often go to www.deezer.com . You can listen to complete albums and investigate artists you haven't had chance to listen to.

Hey I got quote of the week!

Does that mean I get a glass/perspex thing in a red box and have my picture taken with a member of a prog supergroup?

Then get slagged of for mistyping my "I'd like to thank my mother in laws cat "cooking fat" for the inspiration...." speech. And have to spend the following week apologising?

(NB..for the easily offended - my mother in law does not have a cat called "cooking fat" - though she did have one once that I named satan - it was an evil little bar steward) (all references to prog super group members alive, dead or stoned are purely coincidental and are not intended to infer any relationship between them and the  afore mention feline).

Hi

I do not claim to be a Frost* expert. But, I feel I have been to enough gigs over the last 30 years comment.

On Saturday night I saw a band who, from my perspective were having a ball - a party. And why not? One had just been nominated one of the best keyboard players, another the best Bass player and yet another - Musician of the year! To cap it all it was also a farewell to one of the best drummers I've have heard in a long time.

In contrast the last time I saw Steve Vai - the gig was sterile (and I should know I work in a hospital) no mistakes, everything exact and soulless (sp).

I know which I prefer, I haven't been back to see Steve Vai (actually I was bought the DVD of the tour and that is sterile too) but intend to see Frost* again.

Hi

My first post on here - not too sure just how welcome I will be as;

I am a member of the CRS

I am fat and hairy (but I do like biscuits)

and the third part of the holy trinity - middle aged bloke.

But never mind eh!

I heard of Frost* through the ItBites forum and then saw them supporting Spocks Beard. I was impressed enough to buy Milliontown and then order (through the CRS - shock horror) the new album - excellent. I even have Toys as a ring tone.

Then I jumped at the opportunity to see them at the BOTY awards.

Brilliant night. However, I am a little suprised at the reaction to Frost's new album not being voted as album of the year. Not because I think it unworthy, but because it has only just nicely been released! The negative comments regarding the CRS are undeserved - The CRS booked Frost* for thier annual bash after all.

The awards are what it says on the box - awards by the CRS, voted for by members of the CRS - nothing more.

BTW - in order to be accepted in these parts - I have searched my Ipod and deleted all songs with Tolkein connotations.
