Good news for all VdGG fans. This is the latest news from Peter Hammill's official homepage:
Well, just in time and not before time.... The live
recording of the VdGG Reunion concert at the Royal Festival
Hall in 2005 is going to be released at the start of March.
It will be a double CD, lovingly mixed by Hugh Banton; the
label, finally, is Fie!.
Go thee out and buy it; it was a fantastic gig!
