Welcome to Sundemonium '22

An afternoon of inspiring and intriguing contemporary prog, curated by The Wood Demons, with our guests The Far Meadow and The Ruby Dawn.

THE WOOD DEMONS

From their beginnings in South-West London a decade ago, The Wood Demons have been developing their eclectic and distinctive take on contemporary prog, creating songs on an epic scale with powerful melodies, spiralling violin, lush Mellotron soundscapes and molten guitars.
The Wood Demons are Simon Carbery (gtr/voc), Rick Startin (gtr/kbd/voc) Naomi Belshaw (violin) Ed Kontargyris (drums) and John Silver (bass)
?Angels of Peckham Rye is the first full-length album release by London-based band, THE WOOD DEMONS, and is one of the most refreshing progressive rock albums I have heard for some time. The group have an intriguing, eclectic and quite unique mix of styles, with elements of progressive rock, folk, psychedelia, alternative rock, ambient and classical/cinematic touches. All of these diverse elements come across in this vibrant, dynamic and beautiful album.? (David Edwards, The Progressive Aspect)

THE FAR MEADOW

The Far Meadow is a five-piece progressive rock band from London. Now established as one of the premier live progressive acts, TFM has stepped out with the likes of Caravan, Carl Palmer, Curved Air, Focus, Gong, Uriah Heep, and most recently with Soft Machine?s John Etheridge, Solstice and The Enid, at ecological charity event Prog the Forest, Fusion 3.5 and cancer fundraiser Prog For Peart respectively.
With Marguerita Alexandrou's dramatic and distinctive vocals, Eliot Minn's enchanting and captivating keyboards, Jon Barry reproducing Denis Warren's impossibly radiant guitar work, all underpinned by the incredible rhythmic weave supplied by Paul Bringloe and Keith Buckman, TFM forges an astonishing and exciting array of musical textures.
Drawing from latest release Foreign Land (Bad Elephant 2019), the much-vaunted 2016 cd Given The Impossible, and Where Joys Abound (2012), TFM?s explosive live set is peppered with classics, including the sensational epics Travelogue and Foreign Land, while songs such as Sulis Rise, Himalaya Flashmob, Prove It and The Seamless Shirt herald a new and revelatory era.
