  • GONZO WEEKLY #103: corky Laing remembers Jack Bruce

    08/11/2014

    Corky Laing may be best known as the renowned drummer with Mountain, but for two years from 1972 he joined forces with Mountain's Leslie West, and legendary bass player, Jack Bruce. The latter band actually came straight out of the dissolution of the former. Mountain's bass player and producer Felix Pappalardi who had produced all but one of the albums by the seminal British hard rock three piece Cream, and when Cream dissolved in 1968, the last show of which was filmed by film-maker Tony Palmer of whom more later, Pappalardi produced Bruce's first solo album 'Songs for a Tailor'. Therefore, when Pappalardi left Mountain in favour of advancing his career as producer to the stars, there was only one real option for who would replace him. This week I telephoned Corky at his studio and we talked about his memories of Jack Bruce.

    Gonzo Web Radio is chuffed to bits to present a remarkable radio show put together by none other than the lovely Jaki Windmill and the irrepressible Tim Rundall. An anarchic mixture of music, politics, current affairs and all sorts of other things really wrapped in a surreal miasma of post-psychedelic credibility. Sounds good? You bet yer sweet pondos it does. Tim approached me some weeks ago. Apparently before he died Mick Farren told him about Gonzo Web Radio and some of the plans Rob and I had tentatively began to put together. Would we like to broadcast some of the stuff he had recorded with Mick? I've heard some silly questions in my time, but this takes the biscuit. Of course we would. Mick Farren was one of my greatest heroes, and the fact that he took an interest in this magazine and helped me steer it into the direction in which it is currently sailing, meant that dear Tim's question was completely superfluous. So I waited to see what would happen. Soon after that I got approached by Jaki.

  • GONZO WEEKLY #101: Jon and Tommy James think they're alone now

    25/10/2014

    Last week I reviewed Tommy James' remarkable autobiography, and as I wrote then, I have been aware of Tommy James for some decades. Like everybody I know the songs 'Hanky Panky' (although I think it means something different over here in the UK than it does in America), 'Mony Mony,' and 'I Think we're Alone Now.' But it wasn't until I read the book and found out what a fascinating career this man has had, that I sat down with my trusty Spotify account and found out what a slew of great music I have been missing out on for all these years. I am particularly impressed by the music that the man usually considered as the "father of bubblegum music" made when he was allowed to let his hair down and play games with form and style. Why these more psychedelic outings aren't spoken of more often I have no idea. But leaving the music aside, it's the socio-political background to this book that I find most fascinating. I had no idea, for example, that Tommy James had been such an important figure in the 1968 electio

  • GONZO WEEKLY #99: Jon meets Judge Smith and Edgar Allan Poe

    11/10/2014

    For those of you who don't know, the opera The Fall of the House of Usher by Peter Hammill and Judge Smith has a long and complicated history. Wikipedia may not be the most reliable source in the known universe, but this brief overview of its history is good enough for these pages: “The Fall of the House of Usher is an opera by Peter Hammill (music) and Chris Judge Smith (libretto). It is based on the short story of the same name by Edgar Allan Poe. (Pictured below) Hammill and Smith, two of the co-founders of Van der Graaf Generator, worked sporadically on the opera from 1973 until its first recording was released on Some Bizzare Records (the only instance of Hammill's work appearing on the label) in November 1991. The album was available on CD, cassette and a limited edition of 500 double vinyl LPs. The cast of singers was: Hammill himself, playing Roderick Usher and the House Lene Lovich, playing Madeline Usher Andy Bell, playing Montresor Sarah Jane Morris, playing the Chorus Herbert Grönemeyer, playi

Keith Richards and Rod Stewart also recorded their biggest solo records at Royal. John Mayer and Tom Jones have recently recorded there as well.

  • GONZO WEEKLY #97: Jon meets Freddie Bannister

    27/09/2014

    The other day I had a fascinating conversation with one of the men who was most important in shaping the world of rock and roll as we know it. As always when a 21st century music journalist is seeking after knowledge, the first stop is Wikipedia. It may not always be 100% accurate (at one time it had me married to someone called Lisa and living in Manchester) but it is usually a good place to start. Wikipedia describes Freddy Bannister thus: Freddy Bannister (sometimes written as Freddie Bannister) was a leading UK concert promoter during the 1960s and 1970s, and was the founder of the Bath Festival of Blues 1969, the Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music 1970 and the Knebworth festivals. Bannister started promoting music acts through his father-in-law in 1959, organising performances in local dance halls. From 1963 to 1969 he promoted numerous shows at the Pavilion in Bath, England including those by artists such as Gene Vincent, The Rolling Stones, Cream, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Pink

  • GONZO WEEKLY #96: Jon meets Tony Palmer

    19/09/2014

    Felix Dennis died earlier this year. He was a remarkable man and one of the most important people to have come out of the counter-culture of the late-'60s and early-'70s. Indeed he can probably be described as being the person who came out of said counter-culture who had the most successful publishing career of all. More importantly, unlike many of his peers, who will remain nameless, he continued doing projects – such as the Heart of England Forest, whose mission statement is: “"the plantation, re-plantation, conservation and establishment of trees for the benefit of the public, together with the education of the public by the promulgation of knowledge and the appreciation of trees".” which are totally in line with the ethos of the hippy movement then and now. According to Sean Coughlan, writing in 2006, Dennis told him: “I've been busy for years, buying land, often under pseudonyms, and planting trees on it. All the money is going into it when I die - and in the end I'd like to think that it will be 20

  • GONZO WEEKLY #95: Jon meets Mick Rogers

    13/09/2014

    This week I caught up with another person with whom I have wanted to speak for many years. It was Mick Rogers, probably best known as the singer for Manfred Mann's Earth Band. He first crossed my orbit back in 1973 when their glorious single 'Joybringer' totally captivated me. I remember singing it at home whilst carrying out some menial household task in order to only have my father start ranting that “Those bloody long-haired beatniks have made a nonsense of 'I Vow to Thee my Country'” and forbade me to ever listen to it again. Both songs, of course, were adaptations of the Jupiter movement of Gustav Holst's Planet Suite. Soon after, I acquired a second-hand copy of the Solar Fire album and was a committed fan. When Mick Rogers left the Earth Band for a while in the mid-1970s, he formed another band called 'Aviator'. The two Aviator albums are now coming out on Gonzo, which gave me a perfect excuse to give him a ring Aviator were a very different band to the one in which Mick had made his name, and

  • GONZO WEEKLY #94: Jon meets John Ellis

    05/09/2014

    It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. For me it was one of the crappiest of times. I was a student at a minor, and not very good, public school which shall remain nameless, and it was either the end of 1976 or the beginning of 1977. I would like it to have been the end of 1976, because otherwise this story really doesn't make that much sense. I was one of the chosen few who bought a 7” single of the Sex Pistols' 'Anarchy in the UK' in a long defunct record shop in Barnstaple which has now been replaced by a rather nifty health food shop. However, although I was an enthusiastic convert to the new spiky sounds of punk, and even more so to the Year Zero mentality and the DIY ethic, for the last three decades I have been convinced that the Sex Pistols were not the first punk band that I heard. No, that honour went to a band called The Vibrators whose first single, 'We Vibrate', totally blew me away. As I told John Ellis, their guitarist, this afternoon as we had our second wide-ranging discu

  • GONZO WEEKLY #93: Jon meets Jaki Windmill

    29/08/2014

    I first met Jaki Windmill in the spring of last year. My nephew Dave Braund-Phillips and I went up to Brighton to see, interview, and film the legendary Mick Farren in what turned out to be one of his final shows. As we all know, sadly, he passed away a few months later. Because of his rapidly failing health Mick didn't turn up at the venue until very shortly before he was up on stage, and so David's and my well thought out plans of interviewing him before the concert came to naught. But as a happy result we had more time to spend getting to know the other members of the band. As these included two of the original members of The Pink Fairies, we spent a long time happily interviewing them, but it was Jaki, sitting quietly in the corner nursing a pint of lager with whom I became most friendly. It turns out that we have many interests in common within the Fortean world and both that evening, and on several occasions since, both in person and on the telephone, Jaki and I have happily chatted about all sort
