Following the TV selections. First night now, Ludwig van’s 5th on Sunday.
Not televised, but tomorrow is apparently “Prog Rock” night. If you absolutely must I suppose. Oh well. Best get it out of the way early on.

I think the prog rock prom is being recorded for later broadcast on BBC4, according to the BBC online listing anyway (but not the main listing in the printed Proms Guide).
‘Prog Rock’ as a title does not fill me with anticipation, must admit. Luckily, I’m working til 9pm…
If I want prog, I’d stick with Varese et al I think.
Really great Prom last night on TV. Of course, they had to ruin it at the end with the beyond-dumbing-down arrangement of the worst song in rock.
Yes. Good grief. What were they thinking?
Just watched the “Prog Rock” prom. To me It was very disappointing. Only thought the Floyd great gig was worthwhile. Just listened to 3 of the others on vinyl. The proms really, really missed out.
The ‘Prog on the Beeb’ compilation afterwards was good though. Some good clips on that one and some amusing stuff too (e.g. the disco dancing to Atomic Rooster on TOTP).
