Richard Swan
Richard Swan grew up in the 60’s and 70’s in a household and went to a school, both filled with music. In particular, his school encouraged the formation of live bands and invited emerging progressive rock bands to perform in order to build on their encouragement and interest in modern day music.
Whilst he was classically trained in piano and wind instruments, Richard’s passion was always for the classic progressive rock artists of the 70’s; King Crimson, Genesis, Yes, Rick Wakeman, Pink Floyd, Barclay James Harvest, Camel, Supertramp and many more.
Despite these musical passions, his career took him through decades in Her Majesties Forces and then as a specialist engineer and construction professional. But music was always at his heart and, on retirement, Richard was able to devote more time to a wide range of musical interests.
Richard writes album reviews for The Progressive Aspect (www.theprogressiveaspect.net), and follows these up with audio reviews on Progzilla Radio (https://progzilla.com/), in particular as guest presenter on Shaun Geraghty’s The Prog Mill. He also runs a limited-edition vinyl only record label (Wild Thyme Records), to support emerging progressive rock bands to release their music in his favoured format and in the most cost effective manner.
