I'm gonna be there in Hengelo. Would have like to attend all of the gigs, but sadly transport wise it's just not feasible.

DPRP Podcast with Clive Nolan: https://www.mixcloud.com/DPRP/dprp-podcast-episode-17-interview-with-clive-nolan/

QuoteOn a sunny afternoon at the end of February, DPRP's Béla Alabástrom and Mr F braved the perils of ravenous zombies who had invaded the otherwise tranquil English countryside overrunning the idyllic setting of the Mead Hall to meet prog legend Clive Nolan. Having found a welcoming refuge in his studio, we discussed his illustrious career as a composer and as a member of some of the best loved and most revered prog bands, Pendragon and Arena foremost amongst them.

I was curious because this band is the support act for Weather Systems. It's a mix between rock, folk, prog and pop. Not bad at all .

Yes they are pretty good indeed! I noticed them with the Marillion 'couch convention' during covid and picked up their first album and the EP's before that. Ubiquity is also really good and at the last Marillion convention they were  brilliant live, happy I got to see them twice there.

NP Steven Wilson - Harmony Codex, tomorrow first time I see him live on a solo tour, last time was PT Fear Of A Blank Planet tour..

Good to read you here, Maddox! Happy to hear you are finding your way after all that has happened, with the inevitable ups and downs, with someone who understands and has gone through the same experience.

Things are pretty well, I do not post a lot here I must confess, Teunis is the last man standing on the forum. I am very much looking forward to the Arena anniversary gig in Zoetermeer, 30 years is quite a number, getting old. But first Steven Wilson tomorrow!

So, here I am again.
I sometimes use the laptop but mostly administration stuff, I generally use my phone or tablet a lot more.
Since august '23 a lot has happened.
Dealing with two kids, 17 and 20, household, work, financial shit....but...
On the bright side...met a beautiful and sweet lady who sadly had endured the same shit as i did, lost her husband after a 2 year struggle of cancer, but what started as two people talking about the loss of their beloved, we soon kissed, think after the fourth date (lol) and we're still a couple.
We both have our demons from time to time but we're happy that we're in a relationship.
Kids....hers and mine, sometimes aren't but that's obvious.

Sounds perfect but it sometimes isn't . In fact, it's complicated with our history.
We respect each previous lives and there is room for laughter and good times and such.
I have been depressed for the past two months, been at home ever since, but things are looking good for me again.
Little by little, step by step i'm getting there.
