THIS Sunday your dose of classic prog-rock will come courtesy of John Young.
Taking a break from fronting the Aylesbury-based John Young Band, he is performing solo at Worcester's Marr's Bar.
The prolific musician, who holds dear the belief that music should be an "aural experience" rather than an over-produced product, has potent musical background. He was a cathedral chorister and he went on to study music at A-level.
He said: "What I perform is all my own material. It's based around war and peace, love and friendship. It's quite deep and the lyrics are very important."
Young has supported Bonnie Tyler and Midge Ure and guested with George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and ELO among others.
On top of the rock music, he writes classical pieces for the BBC, ITV, C4, the Discovery, History and National Geographic channels. He said: "My music tends to get everywhere. Tickets to the Marr's Bar gig, starting at 8pm, are £7 on the door.
