Gonzo Weekly #243
THE YO HO HO AND A BUCKET OF PROG ISSUE
n which Jon interviews Stu Nicholson from Galahad, Richard goes to the New
Forest folk festival, and sees Ric Sanders, Show of Hands and the Acoustic
Strawbs, we ask whether modern music is rubbish, Alan ties Jon to a Listening
Post, and all with a Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of Prog.
Yup, and it’s all free!
And there are radio shows from Mack Maloney, Strange Fruit, Canterbury Sans
Frontieres, and Friday Night Progressive. We also have columns from all sorts of
folk including Roy Weard, C J Stone, Mr Biffo, Neil Nixon and the irrepressible
Corinna. There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and
numbats with the right to choose (OK, nothing to do with small marsupials who
have become eligible to vote, but I got carried away with things that rhymed
with OOOOS) than you can shake a stick at. And the best part is IT's ABSOLUTELY
FREE!!!

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.co.uk
