I saw that advertised yesterday. Interesting. Oddly no Fairporters are mentioned amongst the performers?
I agree it is very odd. But, as Paul suggests, there is obviously still a chance they will end up being involved.... True. Yet one would have thought that Simon and Peggy, at least, might be among the first to be asked. RT & DM, being US-based, might not be so easily available. Ashley of course is probably not available due to his stroke. According to the latest interview I read, RT has moved back to London. |

£84 seems expensive to me.
Pensions can only stretch so far.

Upcoming gigs... Marillion, in about half a hour.
I'm in Aylesbury, enjoying the Waterside Theatre once again. It's quite the hotbed of prog. Will be back up to see Steve Hackett in a month or so.
Cheers
Nick
Time flies... Steve Hackett tonight. Technically this should also be in Recent Gigs - they've just played a set of his solo material. Genesis stuff coming up in 15 mins or so... Cheers! |

I'd love to see Huw Williams again. Brilliant songwriter and so many years since I booked him and Tony for our folk club. Enjoy. |

Huw Williams turned up at the Brecon Folk & More club a few months ago. It's not a guest club so he just did three songs but it was nice to hear him again after so many years. |

Aziz Ibrahim and full band at the local 80 seat craft ale bar on Thursday. Only seen him several times acoustic before and on Ian Brown's whistle stop tour.

Should be brilliant if it reflects his progress over the years. |

This Saturday evening, I'm taking my granddaughter to see "beabadoobee" at the Germania Amphitheater.
This is a British-Filipino singer songwriter whose genre is labeled "bedroom pop." Apparently, this refers to young folks who record and release their songs on Youtube. Laufey got her start this way, as well, I am told.
After serving as an opening act for little-known performers such as Taylor Swift, beebadoobee is undertaking her first headline tour of the U.S. I've listened to some of the songs, and they're quite pleasant. I'm hoping for a good evening, but I doubt she will top Bruno Mars.

A whole weekend of (mostly old school) Gong-related music in Glastonbury. What's not to like (apart, arguably, from the price)? Well, I'm looking forward to it. https://www.planetgong.co.uk/gigs/gathering-2026.shtmlMaybe sit this one out, Jules? |

I sooo want to got to this but don't think I can. I went to the Melkweg Gathering 20 years ago and it was one of the best weekends of my life. You won't regret it if you're going David. |

I could have but didn't go 20 years ago (saw Gong loads around the 1990s and 2000s though, including lots of the reunions...South Bank etc etc) and have always regretted it. Booked myself a nice little pad in Glasto and am really looking forward to it. Fingers crossed no health b*****ks gets in the way... |

I hope nothing gets in the way of having a great time. I'm just coming out of a nasty bout of Covid that has cost me 2 gigs and a weekend in Lithuania  I saw Gong 3 weeks ago though and they were great, even though Kavus was missing as his mother was sadly passing away. I particularly look forward to hearing how Here & Now are, they're one of my all-time favourite bands. I even managed to drag them out of semi-retirement once to play a gig in my home town, and I managed to break even on it too! |
