“Superb reviews of great artists and albums.” -Kal Hodgson
I write music features and reviews focused on prog rock, folk rock and more from around the globe.I also curate a playlist, with my listening guide, every two weeks.
I’ve been listening to music seriously for seven decades. I write music reviews, both here on Substack and for publications such as The Progressive Aspect. Music has been an obsession since early childhood.
A book for Sonicbond Publishing, ‘Lifehouse by Pete Townshend’, is due for publication later in 2025. I live in Olney, UK, with my partner, Jane, border collie Maisie and cat Cocoa.
What to expect from ‘LP’ when you subscribe
A PAID subscription, annual or monthly, supports both my writing and musicians. In addition to the reviews sent to free subscribers (see below), your paid subscription opens access to my full LP archive featuring an extensive collection of reviews and playlists.
As a FREE subscriber, you’ll receive reviews of LPs - a new release or one from the vaults; prog rock, folk rock and more from around the globe. You’ll also have limited access to my archive of reviews.
Here’s an example of my music reviews:
The Phil Collins Albums pt. 1 - Face Value
Tracks: 1. ‘In The Air Tonight’ 2. ‘This Must Be Love’ 3. ‘Behind The Lines’ 4. ‘The Roof Is Leaking’ 5. ‘Droned’ 6. ‘Hand In Hand’ 7. ‘I Missed Again’ 8. ‘You Know What I Mean’ 9. ‘Thunder And Lightning’ 10. ‘I’m Not Moving’ 11. ‘If Leaving Me Is Easy’ 12. ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ (13. ‘Over The Rainbow’)
Feel free to share LP with your friends, colleagues, and anyone who loves music.
“Brilliant playlist. I’ll definitely be looking out for this weekly treat! Thanks for the effort and love you put into this.”
