Thanks for the invite Hugues, but I can't make it. Shame really, Canterbury is one of my favourite places. Be sure to visit the cathedral!

Been there four times and the last thing this old heathen/pagan/atheists will do is visit a place of worship outside a concert hall

So unless Olivier does not confirm soon, it will Martin, Chris and me to that concert.

Simon and Alan, not takers????

Pip Pyle dead, Caravan cancelled,( according to the site G.Richardson & and J.Leverton will set up another band, but will the play Caravan repertory?)

Still It would be great to see you guys again! Is there a possibilty of cheap housing in Canterbury... bed & breakfast or bed without breakfast?

Wow another Canterbury drummer ill!!!!

I'll telephone tomorrow to see if there are still tickets left.

Martin, I have a guide of B&B around the Canterbuty region. But it is in Brussels, so I will not have access to it before the WE.

I've booked my ticket - there appear to be some left, but I don't know how many.

Unfortunately it looks like I'll have to give the Gong unconvention in Amsterdam a miss, but I'm still aiming to go to the RIO festival next soring.

Hopefully, Pip Pyle's death will not set this back.

Hatfield had a back-up drummer for the last tour, so it should not be a big problem

Excellent idea, Hugues! I've been thinking that it's about time for another PA meeting for a while now, and this should be accessible for a reasonable number of us.

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 [IMG]height=17 alt=Wink src="http://www.progarchives.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif" width=17 align=absMiddle>

In what the Caravan convention and your intervention will consists? When is it?

Yup, the one with Hawkwind was the second edition which I went for also

Then came two three days edition, the one you mention and the one with plant headlining >> which to my knowledge was the last one.

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

If you're referring to the first (one-day) Canterbury Sound Festival @ Mt Ephraim Gardens in 1990, I seem to remember it being opened by a three piece band, playing very much in the vein of early Black Sabbath; very good, as I remember, but battling against appalling sound balance (when the marvellous Hamsters played after them, Slim stopped the first song halfway through, swore at the sound tower & talked them through how to do the sound - then they continued with a far better sound)
