THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN OWES US A LIVING

The Gonzo Daily - Friday

www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

 

I am running ridiculously late today, and for once there is absolutely no excuse that I can give. I am just catching up with all sorts of things and working in a linear fashion today. I interviewed Steve Ignorant this lunchtime, and he was as charming and erudite as I had hoped. I last met him about thirty years ago and was horribly star struck. This time round we talked about various new and old projects of his and expressed a shared love for Joni Mitchell. A really nice bloke. Whilst on the subject of music, my new album 'The Man from Dystopia' is now out. If you decide to buy it that would be fantastic, but it is now up on Spotify. I hope you enjoy it. Expect news of Animals & Men #51 within the next few weeks, by the way.

REVIEW: A Very Intimate Evening with Rick Wakeman
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2013/10/review-very-intimate-evening-with-rick.html

 

*  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 same team also do a weekly newsletter called - imaginatively - The Gonzo Weekly. Find out about it at this link: www.gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit-to-print.html

 

* We should probably mention here, that some of our posts are links to things we have found on the internet that we think are of interest. We are not responsible for spelling or factual errors in other people's websites. Honest guv!

*  Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 54 who - together with his orange cat (who is currently on sick leave in Staffordshire) and two very small kittens (one of whom is also orange) puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish, and sometimes a small Indian frog. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange cat?
