When Prog checks in with Roine Stolt, he’s in fine form. The Flower Kings mainman is anticipating the release of his band’s 16th studio album and he’s just recently seen friend and collaborator Jon Anderson’s Close To The Edge 51st anniversary live show in his native Uppsala.
He has much to say about their ongoing work together (of which more later). He also has comments about the apparently defunct Transatlantic’s swansong tour and rumoured last ever concert, recorded for posterity as The Final Flight, plus The Flower Kings’ reissue programme.
