Prog Aid

[Brom]

While I was doing unspeakable things with a roll of masking tape and a paint brush yesterday my ears tuned in to what was going on in the kitchen. A melodic guitar solo?... followed by another one, and another one which I would bet money on was Gary Chandler. WTF??? A quick dash brought me to the DAB which was as usual locked on Planet Rock. The gorgeous melodic widdling continued, but the display refused to announce "Whats Playing" (I hate that). I knew that Mr Wakeman hardly ever announces the name of the track he's just played so I was left with an empty feeling that I may never find out the origin of this .... Ohh there's lyrics... Hooray, I can google them...... "All around the world....."

AHA!!!    

I then probably knew what I was listening to. The Prog Aid CD, which features a load of our fave musos including mr JJ, which for some reason completely passed me by.

Now I want it. Badly!!!

A search of the web revealed , this site which links to the apparently defunct Prog Aid page.

Can any Frosties help??, does anyone know where I can get a copy of this CD or do I have to wait for one to come around on Ebay. If I do get one second hand, as this was a charity CD, I herby Promise to shove at least an extra fiver in a Comic Relief bucket to compensate.

I think it's out of stock. I got mine a long time ago (a few years?) through //http://www.progrock.co.uk but I can't find it on their site any longer.

CORRECTION: //http://www.progrock.co.uk/acatalog/P.html It's there! Look for [CD Single] ProgAID - All Around The World EP.

Hi,

That's the work of our man Rob Reed (Magenta) again - a great song and for a good cause too.
Love the video of it being made too - a regular who's who of prog!

Yeah, Diff beat me to it. David Robinson and co. were selling it at Summer's End last year!

Good luck!

Diffidentia and Pedders... Many thankx, an order is being placed, and I'm sure I'll be stuffing a few more things in the cart.  

I don't know how I've missed this site in the past... loads of goodies  

But never minding about all that, anyone see the Attenborough documentary about Cassowarys last week... bloomin interesting. Imagine having those things wandering around outside!!

As Samuel Wilberforce said:

If I were a cassowary
On the plains of Timbuctoo,
I would eat a missionary,
Cassock, band, and hymn-book too.

Meanwhile back at the Progaid CD, I have a question. On the Definitive Mix the guitar solo that's towards the end, just after the quiet bit where the piano goes chink, chick, chink, chink, chink, chink...... Chink, chink, chink, chink, chink, chink is awesome, I'd love to know who played it? anyone know?? Possibly Mr Mitchell??

[Mikey]

If you can't get a copy I have it 

& the Mitchell is listed but there's no break down of who does what.....& when

& TBE as well as JJ

Hang on....just realised this is an ancient thread..................I'll go back to sleep
