Record Store Day goes Prog

This Saturday is Record Store Day – and Prog will be camped out at Flashback Records, Essex Road, London, for a progged-up day of vinyl shopping.

Celebrations start at 9am with Matt Stevens performing his virtuosic electric looping to the queue of shoppers until doors open at 10am.

At 1pm Knifeworld/Guapo/Gong man Kavus Torabi will be spinning discs in the shop, followed by DJ sets from Teeth Of The Sea and Prog scribe, Quietus editor and 1973 cover star John Doran.

At 6pm psychedelic experimentalist Alexander Tucker will perform in the shop.

Meanwhile Prog’s favourite rock and roll chefs Bake In Black will be serving up tasty edibles for free to the first 50 customers. There will be Prog goodie-bags, drop-ins and other surprises throughout the day – see you there! Find out more.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
