I had a long chat this week with Joey Molland Strange Fruit is a unique two-hour radio show exploring the world of underground, strange and generally neglected music. All shows are themed and all shows set out to give the most hardened of sound-hounds some new delight to sample. The show is also unique in providing homework for undergraduate students on North West Kent College's Foundation Degree in Professional Writing (who dig up many of the odd facts featured in the links between tracks). Strange Fruit presenter Neil Nixon is currently working on a book about rare albums for Gonzo Multimedia. The show is broadcast on Miskin Radio every Sunday from 10-00-midnight.

I had a long chat this week with Joey Molland Gonzo Web Radio is chuffed to bits to present a remarkable new 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 bit 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 hap

Dear Friends, Things really are looking good for Daevid now. Orlando writes that he has arrived home at last to the great and welcome surprise of the doctors, surgeons, and the immediate family. Daevid himself wrote that: “Rapid recovery began from the moment Ynys played me the drones! My lymph swelling reduced. No dressing now needed. And yesterday they x-rayed my arm and we saw that the bones are knitting so no plating operation required. More later. Needless to say i am very very grateful!! Love, Daevid xxxx" File:Daevid Allen April 2004.jpg Something extraordinary seems to have happened, and it all appears to be related to a piece of music recorded under the aegis of Daevid's old pal, Harry Williamson, another boy from North Devon (like me) and son of the author of Tarka the Otter (hence the Grande Fromage's one time incarnation as head honcho of Otter Songs). Drone for Daevid is a collaboration between Steve Hillage, Fabio Golfetti, Makoto, Harry Williamson, Miquette Giraudy, Josh Pollock, Brian Abbott

We at Gonzo Web Radio are very proud to bring you Canterbury Sans Frontières - a podcast dedicated to the music of the 'Canterbury Scene' and more. Creator Matthew Watkins writes: As with Canterbury Soundwaves, a new three-hour episode will be released with each full moon.I decided to wind down Canterbury Soundwaves so that I didn't end up (i) repeating myself, (ii) scraping the bottom of the Canterbury barrel, or (iii) becoming increasingly tangential. This new podcast broadens the musical remit, so it'll be about one-third 'Canterbury sound', together with progressive/psychedelic/experimental music from the Canterbury of today, the remainder being a mix of music from various times and places which I feel to be in a similar spirit of creative adventurousness. I'll be doing a lot less talking, and the programme will be less expository – so no interviews, barely-listenable bootlegs, etc. I also plan to include guest one-hour mixes from various musicians from the current music scene in Canterbury (Episode 2

Date Published: 5th July 2014 I first came across Friday Night Progressive totally by accident, but I soon found myself beguiled by the style and taste of presenter M Destiny who presents a weekly two-hour show showcasing all sorts of progressive music that you are unlikely to hear anywhere else. This is surely a man after my own heart. I also very much approve of the way that it is the hub of a whole community of artists, musicians, and collaborators. I hope that you enjoy them as much as I do. Welcome aboard, chaps. Hello, I am M Destiny host of Friday Night Progressive. You will find it to be an incredible independent internet broadcast show. But it's more than that. We tend to boast that the musicians played on FNP are above the status quo. This includes the multi-instrumentalist and the educated musician. We tend to shy away from computer generated creations and rely on talent using musical instruments and steer this talent for purposes of shear inspirational indulgence. It is only in the FNP chat

I have been a musician for just about the same length of time I have wanted to be a music journalist and I formed my first band in the spring of 1975. My secretary Andrea, who is a cheeky young flibbertigibbet, who really doesn't know her place in the potato shed and (just in case you think I am being disloyal to her) is typing this as I dictate, sniggered when I mentioned the spring of 1975 because that, apparently, was when she was born. You can't get the staff anymore, and she steadfastly refuses to behave in the subservient manner that I would wish, and leads me a terrible life. I am now completely confused and have no idea where I was going with this due to dear Andrea's girlish sarcasm, so I think I am going to have to start again. In the spring of 1975 (shut up Andrea) I formed my first band, and wrote what I thought were terribly witty satirical songs about the then current political scene. With hindsight they were terrible, but what songs by a fifteen year old boy aren't? Over the years my mu

ACCIDENTAL CONVERSATION WITH AN ANARCHIST I can't believe that is already nearly a year since Mick Farren left us. The thing that hurts most, and I hope this doesn't sound too selfish, was not that he had to die; we will all die sooner or later, but that he had to do so just as he and I were becoming friendly, and when he truly had so much going on in his life. As I have written elsewhere in this issue Jaki and Tim have both taken leave from the submarine and left the cow in charge….or possibly the cat, I'm not sure. There is, therefore, no Sub Reality Sandwich this week but what there is, is this archive recording of Tim and Mick Farren. I hope you enjoy it as much as I am. Enjoy.

Electric Prunes fans are buzzing with excitement about the release of a new CD of unreleased live material titled 'WaS'! Featuring 15 slamming cuts to keep you up at night! American psychedelic rock group The Electric Prunes first achieved international attention in the late 1960s. The band performed their 1966 hit song “I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night)” on American Bandstand, and were also recognized for the song “Kyrie Eleison”, which was featured on the 'Easy Rider' soundtrack. After a period in which they had little control over their music, they disbanded for several years. In 1999, much to the delight of their fans worldwide, The Electric Prunes reformed, and resumed recording and touring! And now an interplanetary message from James Lowe of the Electric Prunes… “The Electric Prunes invite you, our closest friends, to a new adventure! WaS. That WaS the Electric Prunes! It has been a long journey here and we have waited till the planetary alignment was correct for a new release. The lunar eclipse s

As I have mentioned before in these hallowed pages I have a love/hate relationship with anniversaries. I think if something matters to you, you should remember it all the time, not just on selective dates. But this is the 40th anniversary of the first Stonehenge Festival, the 30th anniversary of the last Stonehenge Festival and to break that run of glorious dates divisible by 10 it is the 39th anniversary of the death of Wally Hope. Who was Wally Hope? His real name was Phillip Russell and he was born in 1949. He was a friend and artistic collaborator of Penny Rimbaud and other members of the free house in Essex which later gave birth to the legendary anarcho-punks Crass. He was a member of a countercultural group in London called The Dwarves, who were described as being a Notting Hill version of Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters or the Dutch Provo group who inspired the classic My White Bicycle. Here it should be pointed out that despite claims to the contrary, Provo – a Dutch anarchist group active in the
