Prog-Watch 340
Big Big Train won big big kudos at this year’s Prog Awards, being named Band Of The Year and honored as the Best Live Event! A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to have a chat with David Longdon of the band and you can hear that conversation (as well as some great BBT music) on this week’s Prog-Watch! We covered a lot of ground, from the current state of the music business as regards creativity and a band’s connection to their fans, to that time when David auditioned for Genesis! So you won’t want to miss this one!
David Longdon (at right) is lead vocalist for the award-winning band Big Big Train! In addition to singing, David also plays keyboards, acoustic and electric 6 & 12 string guitars, bass guitar, flute, mandolin, accordion, percussion, dulcimer, psaltry and glockenspiel!
Music with some meat to it!
