 Topic: Gong announce UK tourPosted: March 13 2009 at 16:30 |

I just found out Gong will be playing a nine-date UK tour this November. (Sorry if it's already been announced; I didn't see it!) Daevid Allen, Steve Hillage, Gilly Smyth, Miquette Giraudy, Theo Travis AND Mike Howlett are to take part (among others). I think I'll be attending the Oxford gig, on November 28th. Anyone care to join me?

Ooh. Not too familiar with Gong (though I should be, maybe), but I'd like to get to the Leamington gig.
(Actually, maybe the Oxford one would be better... could well be there by then) |

Steve Hillage was on Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone on BBC 6music just now (it ought to be on iplayer in a few hours) plugging this tour AND a new Gong album set for release this September. Along with a couple of album tracks which I'm sure a lot of us know inside-out, they played an early live track from 1970 which I'd never heard before. Good stuff.
I think I'm definitely going to be turning up at one of these dates, though I've no idea which yet. |

Whoooooa.....Mr.Hillage is still alive?!? As a youth I used to watch Steve play at London's Markey club;his drummer passed out from heat exhaustion. God rest Pierre Moerlin 1952-2005, Tschüß, 1Love |
