#1 Henge and Gong on tour together ❤️
Oh my, I always thought there was a link, and now they're getting it on together.
My excited trousers have exploded.
And I quote....
"Greetings, Humans!
We have news...
This November, 2025, we shall embark on a joint tour of the UK with our psychedelically endowed brethren—GONG!
It all began on our return journey from an expedition to Voltus B. As we entered low Earth orbit, we intercepted a curious object—a strange flying teapot, spinning slowly through the void. Unable to resist its mysterious allure, we brought it aboard and, naturally, brewed a steaming infusion within this cosmic kettle.
What followed was either a collective dream… or something far more real. We can't be sure.
We found ourselves transported to Planet Gong, a swirling, colourful world where reality hums in multiple keys. There, around emerald, lilac, and indigo flames, we encountered a band of cosmic troubadours. They welcomed us into their circle, and together we shared stories of a strange blue planet… Earth. We found ourselves speaking fondly of its dominant species—humans. Who, for all their curious flaws, had captured our hearts.
And so, united in this vision, we resolved to bring the Sounds of the Cosmos to Earth. A series of gatherings. A celebration of sound. A transmission of joy, harmony, and galactic mischief.
Join us, as HENGE and GONG traverse your lands, jointly summoning all beings—human and otherwise—to the great cosmic dance.
Tickets are on sale now!
Love From,
Zpor, Goo, Grok and Nom"

I think I'll pop down for a barking mad evening at Exeter Phoenix.
Sorry, I couldn't resist!

Super Coolio ^^^ Hope you both enjoy it.
I'm not much of a fan of the current sound of Gong but I keep going back to see them most years to see if there's any change in me or the band.
Henge though have hit the spot everytime I've seen them over the past 4 years, erm, just like Gong used to.

I never got to Henge here in Beds. I had my ticket but my father in law and I spent that Friday night in A&E.

Philosophers have only interpreted the world - the point, however, is to change it. No it isn't ... maybe we should leave it alone for a while.

Sorry to hear about FiL. We've spent multiple hours in A+E over last year, Mum the Bass had a severe stroke last June and a couple of falls since, meh.

Yeah, our legs, hips and knees ache but a very enjoyable intergalactic boogie was had.
Henge were fantastic. Dancey, fun, brilliantly played and in character the whole show.
Gong, meh! They're still very popular but I'm just not a fan of their new sound.
Today is a rest-day

Be kind to yourself and take it easy after all the exertion.

One for Dave at least.
I think the main reason why Europeans no longer want to travel to the USA is the big time difference. For me, it's now 7pm. In the USA it's now 1933.
