Formé en 1969, Curved Air est un des groupes légendaires du rock progressif. Ils ont apporté beaucoup au genre musical notamment avec l'utilisation du violon de Darryl Way. Au sein du groupe, il y avait aussi la merveilleuse chanteuse Sonja Kristina, une des grandes voix de l'époque. En 1970, elle avait été désignée Meilleure Chanteuse Anglaise. A l'époque, le groupe avait hissé trois de leurs albums dans le top 20 britannique. Leur single "Back Street Luv" était même entré dans le top 10. C'est dire s'ils ont marqué leur temps. Aujourd'hui, le groupe s’est reformé et se relance sur les routes autour de Sonja Kristina, Darryl Way et Florian Pilkington Miksa Music In Belgium This up and coming UK band made a name for themselves with their ambitious 2009 debut, a 20 track strong double al- bum clocking in at just over 90 minutes. A CD that saw them nominated for, "Best Debut Al- bum", by the Italian Progawards website and voted as, "Best New/Unsigned Band", by the readers of UK magazine Classic Rock Presents Prog. IO Earth was initially the creative vehicle of Dave Cureton (guitars, vocals) and Adam Gough (keyboards, guitars). Close personal friends with a relationship going back a de- cade or so; both of them sharing the view that music should be innovative and transcend boundaries. Their initial production documents a band that enjoy an em- phasis on strong melodies and harmonic arrange- ments, this combined with quite a few nods in the direc- tion of symphonic progressive rock - liberally flavored with details from styles such as (but not limited to) jazz, industrial, world music and new age/ambient. While they started out as a creative duo, IO Earth became a full-fledged band project following the release of their debut album. Searching far and wide, high and low and possibly in some alternate dimensions too, Gough and Cureton managed to establish a unit of like-minded Napoleon Murphy Brock sax / flute / vocals musical compatriots. Claire Malin (vocals), Richard Cureton (drums), Luke Shingler (flute, saxophone) Don Preston keyboards / vocals and Christian Nokes (bass) make up the rest of this Tom Fowler bass / violin now 6 men and women strong ensemble. Chris Garcia drums /lvocals Robbie Mangano guitar / vocals Performing the music of FRANK ZAPPA Jean François MALJEAN & Rhonny VENTAT

« Lonely Road » son 12ème CD ….Près de 3 ans après la sortie de « Catch the Spirit » - album de reprises Classic Rock salué par la critique internationale et encensé par Marc Ysaye (Directeur de Classic 21) - et la tournée mondiale qui a suivi, Jacques Stotzem sort « Lonely Road », son 12ème album où il renoue avec la composition. Un CD tout en nuance, en équilibre, cet album est comme le carnet de voyage de Jacques où les rencontres, les expériences, les moments de vie sont racontés par sa guitare. Le concert de présentation mélange à la fois ses nouvelles compositions avec des extraits de « Catch the Spirit » qui sont devenus des « classiques » des concerts de Jacques.

Bonjour les Pointures ! GERRY McAVOY’s BAND OF FRIENDS A Celebration of RORY GALLAGHER’s MUSIC There are many tribute bands playing the music of Rory Gallagher. Some good, some not so good but what they are doing is keeping the music of this great musician alive. Rory’s music reached a massive audience from Norway to Spain, from Japan to USA.. Covering alls parts of the globe and producing some of the greatest rock/blues albums of the 60s, 70s and the 80s…. Sadly we lost Rory on June 14th 1995… To his devoted fans and followers this was the ultimate trage- dy. The BAND OF FRIENDS is not a tribute to Rory, but more a celebration of his life and music. The band consists of musicians who really played with Rory throughout his career.
