Ooooppppppsss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ..................
 
 
Forgotten about that!
 
I was worrying about the group that had opened up the first Canterbury festival >>> it had a name similar to that!

The first year was not well organized but was simply fantastic. but queues for food were awfully long
 
 
Arthur Brown was simply hilarious, too!!! The real surprise came from Man, though! I had seen them the previous year without the KB (just left prior to a tour) and they were not quite as good as in Mt Ephaim gdns. What a finnish, though!! Caravan plmaying Nine feet udeground as the closer. Wow!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
Brainville has nothing to do musically with the other groups. they are a local band doing soull tracks. Nothing worth getting too soon for. Unless seating is difficult.
 
Brainville is the trio of Daevid Allen, Hugh Hopper and Chris Cutler (Pip Pyle was the drummer last time around; I brought the live CD over to Alkmaar). They're listed as playing at the Canterbury show that night on the GAS website http://www.planetgong.co.uk/octave/info/gigs.shtml under Daevid Allen. If it's up to the standard of the live album, it's definitely one to get there early for.

I think that there will also be a few members at the Gong festival in November - looks like autumn could be busy!
 
I intend on both and I am to be some kind of speaker at the Caravan convention CoCaCamp one of those WE too in Amsterdam as well.
 
 
 
Not to mention the next spring in Southern France Wink

It's a great small town >> lots to see. >> see if I can have the full WE and try out a few B&B
 
I'd like to have the next Prog Archives meeting there. Any takers????
 
 
 
I was at their first two festivals in Mt Ephraim Gardens in 00 and 01. But this has been two summers they have not organized the festival.
 
I'll PM this to Simon and Alan (Chopper)

At least they get to play...

Back in 2000/2001 the open air Canterbury festivals had Caravan playing; for 2002, Caravan and Camel offered to play but were (apparently) told their music "wasn't right for the audience"...

This is just a one night concert at a theatre in Canterbury, but it's part of an arts festival that lasts for a couple of weeks. For some reason it's part of their World Music programme. If I go to to this it will be my first ever visit to Canterbury - by all accounts it's a pleasant enough historic town, but there isn't much of a music scene these days.

Is it an outdoor festival? Have you already been to?

As part of the Canterbury Festival Caravan, Brainville, Hugh Hopper Band and Hatfield and the North will play at the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury on October 20. Bizzarrely, it's part of their world music programme! Info here: http://www.canterburyfestival.co.uk/eventdetail.asp?id=53
