Looks good, although where is Gilli Smyth, Mike Howlett and Steve Hillage, when I saw them in 2009 in Edinburgh twas more like the PHP band. What I don't understand is why are they not booked for one of the woods stages at EP or at Body & Soul festival. Might try and get a ticket for this anyway, have Gong ever played Ireland before or did the Catholic church ban them in the 1970s I wonder.

Sad to say that this gig has been cancelled as Daevid Allen has been unwell :-(
