Daevid Allan is playing a lot of solo gigs this year too. He played the Karlsoya Festival, Norway 14 days ago. Anyone have some more info here ?

seen zem in Terville the 5th of November. North east of France. They were good, as usual. It was the first time i saw Steve Hillage. Very modest, great guitarist. I had already seen them at the Nancy Jazz Pulsation festival some ten years ago. And before that, i went to see Daevid Allen in a bar in Nilvange, playing with his band. I met him in the toilets, this day. I can't say if he has a big one.

Did they start later than announced, and how long was the show - depending on these two questions I can know whether I'll miss the last train back home or not. Thanks in advance! Big smile

I suppose there were no opening acts - that's good for me and my problem.
