THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN LONDON at Bush Hall FOSTER, Alex Henry HUDDERSFIELD at The Parrish THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN LOWESTOFT at Marina Theatre TROWER, Robin HOLMFIRTH at Picturedrome Additional photography kindly supplied by Carla Perry and Chris Morgan. Here’s to more live music in the months to come. …and that’s the end of HRH Prog X – a word of thanks to the organisers, staff, security, musicians and audience for making it a very enjoyable return to live music on the big stage. Just time for Celtic-tinged Forever and Beyond to bring proceedings to a rousing and uplifting conclusion for the sizeable audience still present, despite the lateness of the hour and the prospect of work the next day for many. Guitarist Chris Johnson shone on Changing Lives and the poignancy of Heroes Never Die has never been as strong as it is at this particular time. Bryan Josh’s expressive guitar solos and Olivia Sparnenn-Josh’s angelic vocals define the Mostly Autumn sound, but Iain Jennings provides the prog flourishes on the keyboard, where needed, and the rhythm section of Andy Smith and Henry Rogers effortlessly propel the music forward.
The popular standards of Evergreen and Mother Nature remain set highlights.
The band started with the powerful Tomorrow Dies, before The Last Climb brought a change of pace and some lovely flute from Angela Gordon. The fine weekend of live music was brought to a close by the prog-infused melodic rock of Mostly Autumn.
