Prog Rock in Newport


Long before it became the "new Seattle" or TJs burned a defiant punk flame, Newport was the Welsh epicentre of Progressive Rock.

If you were living in Gwent in the early '70s and knew your King Crimson from your Van Der Graaf Generator, chances are you frequented the In Place for its regular (now legendary) Prog Rock nights.

This newspaper advert is from 1970.
