United Progressive Fraternity

When well-known Australian Progressive Rock group Unitopia decided to call it a day, fans were delighted that the musical spirit lives on in the reformed United Progressive Fraternity. A phoenix from the ashes, UPF are a tour de force with ex-Unitopia members Matt Williams on guitar, Dave Hopgood on drums, Tim Irrgang on percussion and the ever magical voice of Mark ‘Truey’ Trueack, whose vision this juggernaut is. Added to this, Mark managed to corral some progressive rock heavyweights in the form of keyboard player, guitarist, vocalist and song-writer, friend Guy Manning (Manning, The Tangent) Daniel Mash plays bass guitar on several tracks and was a part of the first touring party. Joining Daniel is sax-keyboardist Marek Arnold, wind player Ian Ritchie (renowned for his work with Roger Waters) guests on “Fall in love with the World” as well as Jonathan Barrett who plays bass on the same song.
