Hey!
Just a note to let all and everyone and the others know about this
rather hoopy gig coming up in May (23rd).
(The) Daevid Allen (Soft Machine, Gong) is appearing with his band
‘University of Errors’ at the Peel Centenary Centre on 23rd May.
Performing Soft Machine and other back catalogue material, this
prodigious godfather of psychedelic rock and beat poetry has a loyal
global following and is playing the Island for the first time.
But wait! This psychedelicatessen of an evening has much more to
offer… Up there, near the paisley gherkins, on the shelf marked
‘CAUTION! This band may contain beards’ are Ballagroove’s very own
Rhysical Pheck, who will be showcasing material from their forthcoming
album – Vitamin D.
Kin (guitar, mandolin etc, vocals), Gypo (bass, keyboards, noises) and
Shod (guitar, beard) will be supported by a full band – and possibly a
bamboo A-frame – to kick off this unique evening, which promises to be
as spherical as it is cubular.
The promoter is our friend Tony, who can be contacted on 07624 429228,
or at tony_b40@hotmail.com. Tickets are £12.50 and are available from
7th Wave in Port Erin; Shakti Man in Ramsey; Celtic Gold in Peel and
Peter Norris Music in Douglas.
I must admit I got all excited when I was asked to design the poster.
I have many fond if blurry memories of listening to Daevid’s music,
poetry and insights. Teapots, pixies and the death of rock. Usually in
a barn. Upside down. Anyway, I digress. Click on the little picture above to see a big picture, remember to tell your friends ya hear…
Slaynt Vie!
Smeg!!
