Next generation Gong were ok and very proficient, but for me, did not compare favourably with the 'classic' 70s incarnations in spirit. Not seen Henge but my mates adore them. "Ok and very proficient" is about as far as I'll go too, I'm afraid. I like Kavus's other work, so it's not that. Personally, it's just not Gong-like enough to be Gong. For me.... |

Went to see Gong + Henge in Liverpool on Saturday. I didn't enjoy Henge so much, but I was definitely in the minority. Gong on the other hand were phenomenal. My mate has previously asked me to go see them a few times but I'm not much of a fan having only listened to Flying Teapot, and although I like it I've never felt the need to investigate further. He recently suggested some songs by the current incarnation plus Master Builder from You and I was converted. The new album (Bright Spirit) is very good, but admittedly I'm approaching with very few preconceptions so if you're a fan of a previous era of the band your viewpoint might be different. Saw this pairing recently in Bristol. Agree that Henge was the weaker of the two, but the young folks seemed to reall like them. Next generation Gong were ok and very proficient, but for me, did not compare favourably with the 'classic' 70s incarnations in spirit. |

Not exactly a gig
The stage version of I Daniel Blake, at Northern Stage. Different from the film but just as heartbreaking. |

A History of Fairport Convention? About 50 years or so old now - but what a history! Takes me back. Still got my 2LP copy, red ribbon. |

I can't find Fairport chat thread so here is a question for Fairport scholars. The Quiet Joys of Brotherhood- the new boxed set of 80s Cropredy stuff. Is any or all of this out already? I have a Cropredy Capers box (still sealed, in fact) and Unconventional box and don't want to rebuy stuff i already have. Thanks folks. Alan. It's just a straight cheapo reissue of this, from 2004, isn't it? https://www.discogs.com/release/6487011-Fairport-Convention-The-Quiet-Joys-Of-Brotherhood-Live-At-The-Cropredy-Festivals-1986-And-1987 Which in itself is a reissue of the (from memory) The Other Boot/Third Leg cassette sets. And which has been remastered and remodelled on the It All Came Round Again box.... Thanks David. Looks like i haven't got the material- What's the sound quality like? Fair to middling. Much cleaner (remastered) on the recent box, although there were some complaints about the remastering by one or two on here at the time. The 2004 one is available for a fiver or so, so I wouldn't fork out much more. I've probably got one I can send you tbh...drop me a line. |

Cropredys 86 and 87 and a DVD? It's been out before yes. A bit confusing- a quick check tells me it was in 2 versios- 2CD + DVD, and 4CD. The latter would be of interest to me as i don't do DVD. |
