Following A Mirror Of Broken Dreams, A Playground Of Broken Hearts is the second of two books which provide a definitive account of the intertwined stories of the six bands which led the 1980s progressive rock revival: Marillion, IQ, Pallas, Pendragon, Solstice and Twelfth Night.

 

Andrew Wild interviewed over 80 musicians and other participants in the 1980s progressive rock scene. The book also includes in-depth profiles of many of the other bands involved in the era: Abel Ganz, Airbridge, Comedy Of Errors, Electric Gypsy, Galahad, Haze, It Bites, Jadis, Janysium, Lahost, The Lens, Liaison, Multi Story, No-Man, Pride Of Passion, Quasar, Tamarisk, Trilogy and Twice Bitten.

 

The book features over 300 photographs and illustrations, many of which have either been previously unpublished or are very rare, and a foreword by Prog magazine editor Jerry Ewing.
