IN MEMORY OF SIMON HOUSE

A key presence in Hawkwind's line-up during the 1970s, Simon House brought an incredible palette of sonic colours to the band's songs with his exciting and imaginative keyboard and violin work. Leaving to become a member of David Bowie's live band, he went on to become an in-demand session player before rejoining Hawkwind again (twice) and releasing a series of solo albums. We pay tribute to House, who died at the end of May.

Out Of This World

Thirty years ago, Marillion released their final album on EMI, their first not to reach the UK Top 10. Afraid Of Sunlight has since been hailed as one of the band's greatest recordings, but tragedy lay at its heart, even though it kickstarted their career as one of the most successful independent groups. The band recall the challenging times that threatened their career and, at times, their sanity.

Bursting With Pride

“Steven Wilson was probably about 19 [when he joined Pride Of Passion]. I remember that he was very keen and a hugely creative individual. He really was a unique talent and provided a very positive input into the band at that time.” They were favourites at the Marquee and their line-up included a young Steven Wilson, but Pride Of Passion never reached the dizzying heights of their peers. Several decades after their original split, they're back with a new EP and FM keyboardist Jem Davis in tow. Vocalist Deborah Hopper and bassist Diz Minnitt (formerly of Marillion) discuss their unplanned return, Brink Of The Horizon and future plans.

DESERTFEST

Understandably, Camden's Desertfest doesn't pull a huge number of prog fans - the multitude of stoner rock-leaning bands on offer isn't exactly a draw.

WINTER'S END

Chepstow is bathed in glorious weather for Winter's End 2025, something normally reserved for Summer's End during our increasingly clement Octobers. But even though the increased sun and warmer temperatures seriously raise the heat in the old Drill Hall to sometimes uncomfortable levels (damn these well-built buildings from days of yore, when winters froze and summers merely rained!), they seem to buoy the mood of everyone attending prog's premier live event of the calendar. Or maybe that's because this event's grand 20th anniversary is nearing, and a sense of celebration is in the air. As usual, a weekend's worth of great prog music is something to savour.
