A little about me

I am John Wenlock-Smith and am 65 years of age and also a stroke survivor (8 years ago now).

I have Vascular Dementia so I get confused and mix things up a little in my mind but I am generally OK as I have a loving wife who keeps me on the right track.

I have loved Prog since first hearing ELP and Yes in my teens and started going to concerts in 1975 and have not stopped since.

In the past I have written reviews for DPRP and The Progressive Aspect and for the last few years I have written for Progradar, which has unfortunately ceased to exist for various reasons, and so because of this I have chosen to start my own review site which is called:

PROGRESSIVE VOYAGES

a site which aims to bring considered critiques and reviews of new Progressive Rock albums.

As we all know the best Prog takes you on a journey of discovery in your own mind, as The music conjures up images and feeling unique to each individual listener

So Hop on Board and join the Cruise, Welcome Aboard as we take a journey into the Topographic Oceans of the music we all love and enjoy!

Anchors Aweigh (as they say in nautical speak).

If you would like a review for your album

Here's to the future!
