Prog Rock Britannia background

Prog Rock Britannia

The story of the perennially unfashionable music genre, featuring interviews with several of its key players.

Nigel Planer narrates the story of how an ambitious generation of musicians emerged from the 1960s music scene and attempted to expand the horizons of rock music beyond the pop single, leading to instrumental experimentation, gargantuan concept albums and spectacular live performances, before becoming the music that dare not speak its name when punk arrived in the late 1970s to take rock music back to basics.
