Monk will admit that when he first saw that Room Experience was an Italian melodic rock “supergroup”he fully expected the stamp of a certain record company, and especially a certain composer/songwriter/all-round master-of-everything-AOR to be branded all over it, so it was a pleasant surprise to find out that this was not in fact the case. Room Experience are the result of a collaboration between another well-known Italian keyboard player, Gianluca Firmo, and the Burnley-born vocalist David Readman, best known as the frontman of retro-rockers Pink Cream 69.

Despite the ongoing lockdown in many parts of the Überverse, we are still receiving a healthy bundle of submissions for our coveted ‘Video Of The Week’ title.
