I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN



And so another day comes to pass. I am running a little late today because Richard and I stayed up late watching a slew of documentaries on British folk-rock, inclusing stuff by Fairport Convention and Richard Thompson. Before we knew it, it was 4:00am. So its our thought, but together with a bottle of blackberry liqueur from Lidl, and some diabetic chocolate it was a very entertaining evening.

Today, we regretfully come to the end of our three part visit with Annie Haslam, the lovely and multi-talented singer with 'Renaissance'. I enjoyed it so much, that I feel like phoning back later for a chat. However, I have discovered that you can embed songs from Spotify onto a blog so whoopy-dooo...

The Gonzo Daily is a two way process. If you have any news or want to write for us, please contact me at jon@eclipse.co.uk. If you are an artist and want to showcase your work, or even just say hello please write to me at gonzo@cfz.org.uk. Please copy, paste and spread the word about this magazine as widely as possible. We need people to read us in order to grow, and as soon as it is viable we shall be invading more traditional magaziney areas. Join in the fun, spread the word, and maybe if we all chant loud enough we CAN stop it raining. See you tomorrow...

The Gonzo Daily is - as the name implies - a daily online magazine (mostly) about artists connected to the Gonzo Multimedia group of companies. But it also has other stuff as and when the editor feels like it. The Editor is an old hippy of 53 who - together with his orange cat - puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange cat?
