THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS BACK

The Gonzo Daily - Saturday
 
We came back from London yesterday evening and almost immediately launched into a recording session with the one and only Mike Davis, so it wasn't until this morning (OK, lunchtime) with cups of tea and bowls of porridge that I managed to take stock of what has been an extraordinary couple of days. The gig was quieter, and less anarchic than I thought it would be, despite the Hell's Angels on the door and the smell of skunk that permeated the air out on the balcony which is where I spent much of my time before and after the Deviants set, because I was filming interviews with the band etc for the film I am making of the event. We did film it all, and we did interview everyone we could, and you won't have to wait until the film is completed to see it all. Graham and I will hopefully have a few bits and bobs edited down in time for next weekend's magazine.
 
Many thanks to Corinna for holding the fort wonderfully in our abscence. Baby, I don't know how I would even concieve surviving without you...

*  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?
