Stuart's featured album is Red Queen to Gryphon Three by Gryphon, the band they called "the 13th century Slade".

Welcome to the Freak Zone, 6 Music's home of the bonkers bassoon solo. Also on special offer this week; Garage punk from 60s Arkansas, Kosmiche rock from 70s Germany, a mini celebration of Warp records and a new piece of Norwegian prog “that will knock your socks off”.

Plus Stuart's featured album is Red Queen to Gryphon Three by Gryphon, the band they called "the 13th century Slade ". Stuart says its "the finest mid 70s UK medieval prog rock concept album about chess...ever". Its a bold claim but he might just be right.
