As part of the Canterbury Festival Caravan, Brainville, Hugh Hopper Band and Hatfield and the North will play at the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury on October 20. Bizzarrely, it's part of their world music programme! Info here: http://www.canterburyfestival.co.uk/eventdetail.asp?id=53

Is it an outdoor festival? Have you already been to? |

This is just a one night concert at a theatre in Canterbury, but it's part of an arts festival that lasts for a couple of weeks. For some reason it's part of their World Music programme. If I go to to this it will be my first ever visit to Canterbury - by all accounts it's a pleasant enough historic town, but there isn't much of a music scene these days. |

At least they get to play... Back in 2000/2001 the open air Canterbury festivals had Caravan playing; for 2002, Caravan and Camel offered to play but were (apparently) told their music "wasn't right for the audience"... |

It's a great small town >> lots to see. >> see if I can have the full WE and try out a few B&B
I'd like to have the next Prog Archives meeting there. Any takers????
I was at their first two festivals in Mt Ephraim Gardens in 00 and 01. But this has been two summers they have not organized the festival.
I'll PM this to Simon and Alan (Chopper)

Excellent idea, Hugues! I've been thinking that it's about time for another PA meeting for a while now, and this should be accessible for a reasonable number of us.
I think that there will also be a few members at the Gong festival in November - looks like autumn could be busy!

I intend on both and I am to be some kind of speaker at the Caravan convention CoCaCamp one of those WE too in Amsterdam as well.
Not to mention the next spring in Southern France

I was there too - had we only known each other then, a few beers may have been drunk... Remember Jack Bruce's storming set in '01? That was a gig! |

The first year was not well organized but was simply fantastic. but queues for food were awfully long
Arthur Brown was simply hilarious, too!!! The real surprise came from Man, though! I had seen them the previous year without the KB (just left prior to a tour) and they were not quite as good as in Mt Ephaim gdns. What a finnish, though!! Caravan plmaying Nine feet udeground as the closer. Wow!!
Brainville has nothing to do musically with the other groups. they are a local band doing soull tracks. Nothing worth getting too soon for. Unless seating is difficult.

Brainville is the trio of Daevid Allen, Hugh Hopper and Chris Cutler (Pip Pyle was the drummer last time around; I brought the live CD over to Alkmaar). They're listed as playing at the Canterbury show that night on the GAS website http://www.planetgong.co.uk/octave/info/gigs.shtml under Daevid Allen. If it's up to the standard of the live album, it's definitely one to get there early for.

If you're referring to the first (one-day) Canterbury Sound Festival @ Mt Ephraim Gardens in 1990, I seem to remember it being opened by a three piece band, playing very much in the vein of early Black Sabbath; very good, as I remember, but battling against appalling sound balance (when the marvellous Hamsters played after them, Slim stopped the first song halfway through, swore at the sound tower & talked them through how to do the sound - then they continued with a far better sound) Edited by Jim Garten - August 23 2006 at 03:49 |

No as far as I am concerned (cannot find the line up on that one day festival ) , there were two local groups that opened the festival. One of them was straight blues rock and the other one were soul RnBish >> they were friends of the organisers. In 01 the ferstival was also held in one day, but the following year (did not go) it was in three days and had Robert Plant in the line-up
played on that 2000 bill were Gong, Man, Colosseum, Caravan, Arthur Brown >> looks like I am still missing one known group

Aha! - I'm getting my years mixed up - the first one dayer I went to must've been in 2001; I went to that one (headlined by Hawkwind), and the next year's three dayer (headlined as I remember by Fish, Jack Bruce & The Stranglers)... or maybe my memory is more affected by age than I care to admit...

This sounds like a great idea and a fantastic opportunity to meet up
with everyone again. I shall investigate both ticket availability and
travel arrangements.
Has anybody told Blacksword or Chopper about this? Come to think of it Trouserpress might be interested as well. |

Yup, the one with Hawkwind was the second edition which I went for also
Then came two three days edition, the one you mention and the one with plant headlining >> which to my knowledge was the last one.

I'll try to enlist some French or Dutch members also. I could meet them in Calais and take them along in the car shuttle >> free access once the car is paid for....
