I’ve just put up a post at www.sofasound.com about various bits of news.
Less than a week to go now before the start of my uk mini-tour. Roll up, roll up, who knows when (or if) the next one will be!

Jim Christopulos' film documenting the VdGG show at the Beacon, NYC, '76 goes online tonight. This marries newly found footage with audio and together with stills, eyewitness testimony and reminiscence it paints a graphic picture of the event.

Ah, been on here for quite a while, since the other place went toxic.
But my contributions are pretty sporadic of course.

Ah, I’m on the side of “What is this piece trying to communicate to me?” (And therefore potentially to others….)

It wouldn’t have been right for siraj to be on the losing side today

And 2-2 is a proper result from one of the truly great series

Some pretty major news.
On 26th Spetember Universal are putting out a Box Set: "Peter Hammill - the Charisma and Virgin recordings 1971-86".
This brings together all my early albums in an 18 cd, 2 blu-ray collection. Really quite a thing!

Spare a thought for Geoff Dyer, writer and noted Peter Hammill fan. He's giving a lecture at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on the same evening that PH is playing the Festival Hall next door. With luck he'll be able to wrap up the lecture early doors and make it over to the RFH in time for the encores.
