Good news for all VdGG fans. This is the latest news from Peter Hammill's official homepage:

Well, just in time and not before time.... The live recording of the VdGG Reunion concert at the Royal Festival Hall in 2005 is going to be released at the start of March. It will be a double CD, lovingly mixed by Hugh Banton; the label, finally, is Fie!.

Go thee out and buy it; it was a fantastic gig!


BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue.

Good news indeed, and good to see you here again Friede! Where've you been?

Awesome. Can't wait for this.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

They seems to be in exellent form considering their age.

April 3rd 2007 - Theaterhaus, Stuttgart, Germany

April 5th 2007 - Weststadthalle, Essen, Germany

April 8th 2007 - Junction, Cambridge (tickets: 01223 511511)
