Welcome to John Coates' Music WebSite, featuring the now defunct “The Music ProgJect” - Turn your "Sound On" and the "Volume Up".
This now defunct 'The Music ProgJect' was all about musical excellence in the genres of Rock, Hard Rock, Progressive Rock, Pop Rock, but with crossovers into Jazz, Reggae and Ballad.
The Band members were a dedicated, passionate, unwavering and uncompromising set of musicians, who sacrificed everything for their music, without expectation of financial reward and often with consequences. Musicians who, in an alternative timeline, could be the names on everyone's lips.
Age and stature was irrelevant, in favour of musical prowess and so you will see that “The Music ProgJect” comprised of a very diverse group of people, who trod many a differing musical path, to eventually arrive on the “The Music ProgJect” doorstep, to take up their deserved place within the “The Music ProgJect” family.
I feel so overwhelmed and thank them all for their participation and contribution to this 'last throw of the dice' project, giving me the memories and satisfaction of knowing that I was part of another unique musical creation and achievement and more than that; for me and some of us; that I/we can still do it; that I/we have still got this creative ability.
Happily retired now, with my wife Maggie Barkley and our menagerie of small animals, bantam chickens and aquarium/pond fish to occupy our time, but I'm still listening to and enjoying the music of all those absolutely unique and brilliant Progressive Rock Bands from my music era; the 60s and 70s…….
