OFF: Gong event in NL

[Keith Henderson]

FYI...Grakkl
   
  Hmmm...looks like Mr. Hillage may be doing a little Gong-like (space) rock 'n' roll again, after so many years of absolving himself from said legacy.  'Fish rising' from the dead, perhaps????
   
  How big is the Melkweg???  Given the number of musicians/performers to be there as part of the bill, will there be any room for the rest of us??
   
  ObCD/LP: Earthless (San Diego CA) - Sonic Prayer

  Not Very Mid Summer Madness!
   
    Bearing in mind it is actually nearer mid winter than midsummer the powers that be have drawn upon their natural energy and that of the Universe and pulled together a wholesome treat for followers of Gong which ever Solar System you currently reside in. The event takes place in Holland over three days commencing Friday the 3rd of November, Saturday the 4th November and concludes on Sunday the 5th of November.
   
  Everybody seems to have a bit of Gong 'his/herstory' about them - Gilli Smyth views this unique state affairs as, "a family of souls sailing along in a large Gong boat", you board when you choose, travel far as you wish, then disembark and wonder what 'that'  was all about?. Daevid Allen just says with a mischievous twinkle, "Whatever Gong may mean to you, it well possible that it means the very opposite to someone else".
   
  Full details of who is playing and when are found below. I am sure there will be some surprises for some people along the way
