I was sad to hear last week of Martin Hudson's resignation form The Classic Rock Society. His energy and forthright persona will be missed by many. I for one am very glad that Martin decided to set up such an establishment back in 1991. Like many i am grateful to him for keeping prog and associated genre's of music live and alive.
Having recently bought a copy of the "Classic Rock Presents Prog Magazine", I was wondering where they had been for the past couple of decades. I am sure Martin and many CRS members must have been thinking the same. Had it not been for Martin and his brainchild, bands like Pendragon, IQ, Arena, Jadis, and of late, Kino, Frost and Magenta etc would not have had as much support. I am unaware as to why Martin has decided to resign, though i can only imagine that working tirelessly on such a project must have taken it's toll and he must now need time to himself. On the occasions that i met Martin he was always passionate about the music, membership and attendances at CRS gigs. Like many, i will miss his energy, enthusiasm and forthright persona. The Progmiester and friends wish him the best of luck for the future.

Welcome to The Progblog
Welcome to Progmiester.com, home of The Teesside Progmiester. This is a new site aimed at the lovers of progressive rock. A place to share your opinion and news about new bands or just simply reminice about better times when we all used to wear Lune's, Tank tops and platform soles.
Apart from the many bands that have already been discussed in great detail in other very elaborate, excellent sites, Progmiester.com is also the home of many other forms of adult orientated music and the Progblog is were you can post your comments, recommendation's and news of events, new bands and albums.
Apart from a long list of original original bands like Pink Floyd, E.L.P., Genesis, Camel, Caravan, Yes, King Crimson etc, The new generation of progressive bands like IQ, Combination Head, Pendragon, Porcupine Tree, Spocks Beard, Wobbler, Glasshammer etc also have a home here.
Like many 40 and 50 somethings The Progmiester finds it hard to accept that progressive rock music is by far the most critisised and put down of all musical genre's. IT'S OK TO LIKE PROG ROCK!!!! REALLY! When all other musical forms are considered especially more contempory style's, prog has a lot to offer. Let the dance begin.
