This is the 420th edition of the Epileptic Gibbon podcast music show and the playlist to accompany it. You can CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD but note the shows are large files. The show is also available to stream via Mixcloud and the Progzilla Radio Network (the show appears on Progzilla in alternate weeks). I’m putting this show together in an odd limbo period between the weekend of EppyFest 12 and me heading off to Germany for a few days, so it’s going to be a slightly odd concoction but it should still be a very enjoyable one. We have a featured artist on the show, the late, great and recently departed singer and songwriter Ozzy Osbourne – you’ll hear three tracks featuring him throughout the playlist. And otherwise, you can expect the usual eclectic mixture of music, from all the usual styles and genres, and there will also be a return to our 80s and Progzilla Radio/Prog Magazine Limelight features. Below you’ll find the track list, plus weblinks from where you can find more information about each artist.

The show is also available to stream via Mixcloud and the Progzilla Radio Network (the show appears on Progzilla in alternate weeks). On this show I’m bringing you a half-term report on the musical year of 2025, so you’ll hear tracks from some of my favourite albums, EPs, and singles of the year so far. There’s no feature album this time as I’m just going to be cramming in as much music from as many releases as I can over the course of the show, but you can expect the usual eclectic mixture of music, from all the usual styles and genres, plus maybe a few unusual ones. We’ll also continue to look forward to EppyFest 12, which is only around a month away at this point, and there will be three tracks played as part of our Progzilla Radio/Prog Magazine Limelight feature.

You can CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD but note that the shows are large files. The show is also available to stream via Mixcloud and the Progzilla Radio Network. On this show I’ll be paying tribute to the music, the legacy and the genius of the late, great Brian Wilson, who sadly passed away on the 11th June, 2025. Therefore, Brian is our feature artist this time, so you’ll hear tracks composed by him and sung by him throughout the playlist. Other than that you can expect the usual eclectic musical mixture, including music that influenced Brian Wilson, & bands and artists who were in turn inspired by him. Below you’ll find the track list, plus weblinks from where you can find more information about each artist.

I should be back for the next show, most probably a half-term report on the musical year of 2025. Given how great a year it’s been so far, I can promise you it will be an excellent show.

This is the 416th edition of the Epileptic Gibbon podcast music show and the playlist to accompany it. You can CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD but note that the shows are large files. The show is also available to stream via Mixcloud and the Progzilla Radio Network. After the last show, which focused on previewing EppyFest 12 (tickets are still available but selling well so don’t miss out!), this latest show doesn’t have any particular theme or focal point, other than a high quality and highly eclectic playlist. There’s no feature artist or album this time, but we’ll cover the usual diverse selection of styles and genres across the playlist, we’ll return to our semi-regular 80s and Limelight features, and there’s lots of 2025 music too. Below you’ll find the track list, plus weblinks from where you can find more information about each artist.

At Smokey Joe’s in Cheltenham you’ll be able to see six acts perform and on this show, you’ll hear tracks from all but one of the acts playing at EppyFest this year, including a feature artist, William D Drake, the wonderful English keyboardist, composer and singer-songwriter, who will be headlining the Sunday of the festival (27th of July) as part of a trio consisting of him, James Larcombe and Jon Bastable, so you’ll hear three terrific tracks from Mr Drake throughout the show. You’ll also be hearing some spoken word contributions from all but one of the EppyFest 12 acts, so you’ll get insights into what you can expect from them and what they’re looking forward to about the festival, and we’ll cover the usual diverse selection of styles and genres across the playlist.

This is the 412th edition of the Epileptic Gibbon podcast music show and the playlist to accompany it. You can CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD but note that the shows are large files. The show is also available to stream via Mixcloud and the Progzilla Radio Network (the show appears on Progzilla in alternate weeks). On the previous couple of shows we’ve had interviews associated with new album releases for 2025 but this time around, we’re having another of our occasional long track specials, in part because we’ve not had one of those since late in 2023, and it felt like the right time to have another one. We’re also going to be celebrating some upcoming live music, both a gig on the 13th April at The Victoria in Swindon, headlined by Kavus Torabi with support from Chantelle Smith and Richard Wileman, plus some tracks to preview this year’s Winter’s End Progressive Rock Festival, happening from the 24th-27th April 2025 at the Chepstow Drill Hall. And particularly in connection with the latter, we’re going to have a feature album, ‘Forget~Me~Nots’, the 2021 album by Dikajee, a Russian born, UK based folky prog rock artist/band who will be playing on the Sunday of this year’s Winter’s End Progressive Rock Festival, and you’re going to hear three tracks from this album throughout the course of the show. And generally, this is a show that contains lots of epic tracks, and nothing under six minutes in length, for your listening pleasure. You can expect a typically eclectic playlist, covering the usual mixture of styles and genres, including some 2025 music, from old friends and new, and we’ll return to our ‘The 80s Weren’t All Rubbish You Know!’ feature. Below you’ll find the track list, plus weblinks from where you can find more information about each artist.

Thanks to all the musicians who contributed, and of course to all of you listeners. Send us comments if you like what you hear (or even if you don’t… feedback is so important!), or if you think there are any exciting 2025 releases I need to know about. If you want to keep up to date with news about the show, EppyFest, or just chat with other listeners, don’t forget that there’s a Facebook group – just search for the Eppy Gibbon Podcast Show on Facebook and request to join, plus don’t forget that we’re now part of the Progzilla Radio Network. For the next show, I should be playing lots more 2025 music and there will be the usual eclectic mixture of styles and genres. I hope you will join me for that.

This is the 411th edition of the Epileptic Gibbon podcast music show and the playlist to accompany it. You can CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD but note that the shows are large files. The show is also available to stream via Mixcloud and the Progzilla Radio Network (the show appears on Progzilla in alternate weeks). On the previous show we had two feature albums and an interview but this time around we’re being a bit more humble as we have a feature artist and an interview with that artist, namely singer-songwriter and composer Fritz Doddy. As part of this, you’ll hear two tracks from his latest album, ‘The Gardener’. Beyond that, you can expect a typically eclectic playlist, covering the usual mixture of styles and genres, including lots of 2025 music, from old friends and new, plus we’ll also be dipping into the past with some of Fritz’s choices and we’ll return to our ‘The 80s Weren’t All Rubbish You Know!’ feature. Below you’ll find the track list, plus weblinks from where you can find more information about each artist.
