Forgotten Gods get a mention in Prog Magazine OK, ok it's right down the page & it is part of the Summer's End line up announcement but...it is our first mention in those hallowed pages. Alright, alright, it's the website really. And they managed to make a typo with our name calling us Forgotten Earth because of the wonderful Long Earth being in the line above us. But hey ho, it's the thought that counts right and we'd absolutely rather be there than not....right? Too right !

John Jowitt to Perform With Fogotten Gods at 1865 GigWe're delighted to announce that John Jowitt will be taking on bass duties for our gig at The 1865 on 5th May. Unfortunately Mike our own bass player has a diary clash that's simply insurmountable. JJ agreed to take on the gig and we know he's going to absolutely nail it. For some mad reason he seems very happy to be involved There cannot be many in the prog scene who do not know of JJ's pedigree but suffice to say he is currently the bass player in Rain, Tim Bowness' live band Butterfly Mind and will also soon be appearing as a member of the Freedom To Glide live band. He's previously been a member of IQ, Frost and other big names. It's going to be superb to share a stage with him but tinged with a slight element of disappointment that Mike will not be able to share in what will be our biggest gig to date.

Forgotten Gods to Support Also Eden at The 1865 5th May We have been invited to support Also Eden at the rather excellent 1865 venue in Southampton. The gig is Sunday 5th May and we shall be second on the bill in a three act line up that also includes multi-instrumentalist Howard Sinclair performing a solo set. To be invited personally by a band as well respected as Also Eden has really chuffed us all to bits including as it does one of the great voices of the neo prog scene in front man Huw Lloyd Jones.
