Well, that wasn't on my 2026 bingo card... singing (well, la-la-ing) along to VDGG's Theme One being played by Italian proggers Osanna with guest David Jaxon. Great stuff!
Steve Hillage and Miquette Giraurdy tomorrow, playing Rainbow Dome Musick, then Soft Machine with Gary Husband on keyboards, Gong + Hillage on Saturday. This all at the Moonjune festival in Teramo, Abruzzo. |

Interesting fact, STD's excellent single Its A Game was covered by The Bay City Rollers. I remember hearing The Bay City Rollers version and grudgingly thinking it wasn't bad. Not a patch on the original, though. I think I first heard the SDT version on a trailer album from Charisma. If my memory serves me right, the album also had VDGG's 'Theme One'. |

The George Harrison Project at the Grand Theatre here in Lancaster tomorrow night.
They haven't sold a huge number of tickets which is a shame but I'm looking forward to it. |

String Driven Thing were either the first or second band I ever saw.
There were two gigs put on at my school in 1973, the other was Tír na nÓg and I can never remember which came first! |

I think I stumbled across STD because of the VdG(G) connection. I've got a couple of their early albums on cassette (really nice copies) and I picked one out (Machine that Cried, I have a feeling JC may have already left by then?) last year and gave it a spin - great stuff. |

John Mannion of String Driven Thing. An original and exciting band. I took a chance on a sale LP and loved the raucous energy of the group. His guitar sound was fabulous. Sad to hear of his passing Yes they were a good band- I bought the CD reissue of the Machine That Cried. I always liked them but it was a long time before I caught up with them . Couldn't buy a lot of albums back in those days 🙂 |
