Natural Progressions Update
There hasn’t been an issue of Natural Progressions, our Eagles magazine, for the better of part of two years.
There has been a whole range of reasons for this and the future of the whole publication is under review.
In the meantime, here is an update about what is happening in the world of the Eagles:
End of December, end of 2011
I’m pretty much a traditionalist when it comes to this time of year.
What happens when four play?
Where: Clapham Grand, London
When: 10th November 2011
Who: Fourplay
“Smooth jazz”. Just what does that mean?
Doin’ the Maths
Where: Xoyo Club, London
When: 25th October 2011
Who: John Foxx and the Maths, Gazelle Twin, Tara Busch
30 years after the beginning of his solo career John Foxx is at the peak of his powers – and for the first time since Ultravox!, he is in a regular band context.

Sometimes you just hear something that is so unusual and innovative that you just know that there must be an audience out there for it…….
Something like that happened to me the first time that I heard Perkelt. I was wandering around Stratford-Upon-Avon trying to visualise in my head the structure of a Shakespearean production that I was eager to develop ……. when I heard some folk music.
“What Masques, What Dances Shall We Have, to wear away this long age of three hours?
What: A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Where: Stratford-Upon-Avon
When: 4th of August 2011
This is the third play that the Royal Shakespeare Company have performed from the Shakespearean canon since the launch of their new theatre – and to say that I did not approach the grim exterior of that new theatre with much enthusiasm would have been something of an understatement.
Aren’t you………
In the first quarter of 2011, 12 music albums that I have been involved in were released in different markets around the world. This has garnered a certain interest in my social circle at home but has not really made any other difference to my life, lifestyle or income.
