Guys! Gong Festival

fuck!! they're still going??!!:eek:

i'm gonna go and listen to 'angels egg' now, don't think i've spun that for 20 years now!!

i'd go if it was on down the road but wouldnt go to amsterdam to see em. plus there'd be loads of smellies there.
 
Great to see Hillage back with Gong!
Still remember a certain balmy night at Ashton Court festival where his encore was longer than the main set - Happy Hippy days!
 
Update

"We are planning to have some very rare, unseen films of Gong, Daevid, etc showing in a corner of the the 'Old - "phew a chill out space" - Hall". There is some amazing, quality footage from way back which will simply blow your socks off - if you are wearing any that is. "

cool!

Eat Static are not shit, but even if you think so, they'll be plaguing you at Endorse It anyway! :p


They're toilet, William, and if you think I'm going to be within hearing of them, you're sorely mistaken
 
Guys - some bad news..

Harwich - Hook of Holland £160 return.

:(

Any other ideas?

ETA

£80 foot passenger only. :cool:
 
I reckon we should all chip in a tenner and fed-ex hollis to this, he'd be having nightmares about it for years afterwards <evil smiley>

2nd thoughts I reckon I could get hollis a lift out there with eat static... prolongue the agony:D

ps eat static have always been cool with me, but hollis wouldn't cope...

Why don't you get one of those student bong buses, y'know, cheap coach deals for dopeheads? Having said that, there is a risk of having to spend long hours in the company of undergraduates who bore you to tears talking about how they constructed their home-made chillums.

Peace be within you :cool:

I am an open-minded guy..

Next thing it'll be conspiraloonery ... :p

Watch out yer 'mind' doiesn't get so 'open' that yer brains don't fall out .... ;)

(Just jesting. I'd sort-of consider it myself if it wasn't for the extreme cost, and severe time non availability by November ... )

Gotta save any time and money for Xmas, and next summer's festival season, Glasto back, etc. !!!!

Yer never know, they might bring Gong back for Glasto ...

After the either the organisers of last year's Off The Tracks, or Gong themselves/Daevid Allen got their/his fingers somewhat financially burnt**, can't remember exact detail, I'm a little surprised Gong are still functioning tbh ...

**(they had to get the Ozrics instead!! as a last minute emergency replacement <insert obvious jibe here :p ... >) .... and since then, Ozrics have bit the dust and split ...
 
Flights (inc. taxes) going for around £50 return..

So.. £150 for psychedelic trip into the cosmos..

Fairly different from the previous incarnations - this one only has Ed now, employing the Ozrics name -- the others have all gone ...
Otherwise known as the Ed Wynne Ego Roadshow :rolleyes:
 
*consults old albums* Radio Gnome Invisible Part 1 :cool:

I saw Steve Hillage on his Live Herald Tour - Hurdy Gurdy Man :cool:

Bit pricey though innit. Might spend the money on a USB turntable so I can listen to em at home :D
