Prog Gnosis by Rik Loveridge
In 2021 Rik received a diagnosis of Parkinsons . The only
proper responses were a little cry and a new album.
Gigging would be a challenge so Rik left The Kentish Spires
to focus on his own material.
The album is drenched in the spirit of Prog (Progressive
rock) but also explores other genres whilst remaining
musically inventive (says Rik)!
He envisaged some stunning guitar and sax elements so
enlisted the help of friends Nick Fletcher (John Hackett
band) and Chris Egan (The Kentish Spires and Nuadha
He also saw the need to work with talented audio
engineers... cue Paul Cobbold (ex Rockfield) and David
Pickering Pick (FFG studio) on mixing and mastering duties.
Oh, and granddaughter Willow aged 1
Something good shall arise from this dark time!
