I'm enjoying a huge rediscovery of Gong thanks to my children and Steve Hillage/Miquette Giraudy!
Although my children have loved trawling through my wide and varied music collection and have each taken their own particular favourites with them, I didn't expect them to react to Gong in the way they have. It started when my youngest son and I went to see the Steve Hillage Band (Gong) last year. I played him Camembert Electrique to show him who Gong were, and it was like I'd electrified him! hobodaddi
Rejoice! A new Gong egg has hatched and the little pumpkin is adorable. Not as spacey as Daevid, nor as fusiony as Pierre, but quite precocious, talented, and ohh so very Gongidocious. Gong fans dock your Teapots at the nearest space station and load this brain fuel into your warp drives immediately! Cas P
