Musical interests - Anything with passion, regardless of classification. I have my favorites, but to list them would shortchange many great artists. Many other interests outside of music. I'm at as many shows as I can, catch me there and we'll chat!

Steve Sikes-Nova, DJ for Prog, Newgrass, and More!
Virginia, USA

I'm thrilled to be able to bring you my unique blend of Prog, Newgrass, and Alternative which I have shared with listeners worldwide on another web network since 2003. I live on a small farm in rural Hampton Roads, Virginia with my wife of 20 years, Valarie, and many, many horses, cats & dogs (most are rescues). I am passionate about progressive music, animal welfare (cats in particular), and my own vocal music. I work as a special education teacher and mathematics coach with the learning disabled/dyslexic in the Virginia public school system.

 I have done audio interviews with such diverse musicians as Alan White & Tony Kaye of Yes; Sam Bush & John Cowan of New Grass Revival, and Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull.

Dislikes: boring music, depressing music, repetitious music, repetitious music.

Simon "Bilbo" Doy, DJ for Bilbo's Prog Show
Woking, England

I'm English and I'm from a town called Woking 20 miles SE of London. Aged 42 I am grateful for being a teen during the 'Golden Era' of progressive rock. The 'Bilbo' part of the name comes from an old nick I used in forums, chat rooms, and previous radio shows. Watch out for the signature tune 'The Hobbit' by Mr Spock himself which leads into my 3 hr show on Mondays.
  
Favourite bands: Genesis, Spock's Beard, Saga, Happy The Man, and It Bites.
Hates: Bad lyrics, uninspired progressive rock, drum kits that stick out as not matching the music.
 
Oh and I'm blind but please don't let that get in your way as it certainly doesn't get
in mine! lol
