  • Afgelopen zaterdag was het zoals gebruikelijk heel erg gezellig op ProgFarm. Het werd een late thuisreis, maar het was de moeite waard. Onze complimenten voor de leden van Flamborough Head die dit festival al voor de 10de keer organiseerden. Op naar de volgende 10 edities !!! (R.H.)
  • I have to say here that I love this ProgFarm festival…(A.S.)

Thierry (Silver Lining / Acid Dragon) Sportouche wrote a short review on ProgFarm 2006 which was published on several weblists:

Progfarm 10th edition  Saturday, November 4th, 2006, De Harmsdobbe, Bakkeveen, Holland. To celebrate the 10th edition of this prestigious festival in the North of the Netherlands, Edo (Flamborough Head’s keyboards wizard) invited 6 bands. A wide selection of various genres for a crowd of more than 200 persons. Ghiribizzi (Belgium) a powerful outfit were convincing with their music close to Marillion even if their set was more energetic than their (gorgeous) first album. Yesterdays (Hungary) were awesome with their symphonic prog featuring flutes, female vocals, fluid guitars… As the biography says, we are not far from You & I, the seminal band at the origins of Yesterdays. I liked it a lot. Splinter (Holland) seduced me too with their powerful melodic rock often close to It Bites. Flamborough Head (Holland) were perfect as usual with their symphonic and refined neo prog. The addition of flutes and female vocals enriches an already tasty blend. Also Eden’s (UK) shortened acoustic set was a thrill. I enjoyed Peter Gabriel’s reprise ’Here comes the Flood’ especially. I recommend their first opus to you strongly. I won’t say a word about Silver Lining (France) since I sing in this band! Anyway, it was a great pleasure for us to play in this Prog Paradise, just a few weeks after the Montreux Prog Nights organised by Dawn in Switzerland on October 6th and 7th where we could appreciate Dawn (great symphonic prog from… Switzerland) precisely, our friends Nemo (awesome neo prog from France close to Pendragon) and Arf (a powerful trio from Basel in the way of King Crimson).
