THE BY THE TIME WE GOT TO WICKHAM ISSUE

http://www.gonzoweekly.com/

In which Alan goes to the Wickham Festie and raves about The Levellers, The Selecter, Edward II, The Dhol Foundation and more. We remember Oz Magazine, look forward to next week’s revisitation by the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, look at what might well have happened if Syd Barrett had been completely cured, and spend a weekend with Lennon and McCartney.

Yup, and it’s all free!

And there are radio shows from Mack Maloney, Strange Fruit, 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 antichinuses in primordial ooze (OK, nothing to do with small marsupials who have become time travellers and got stuck in a prehistoric swamp, 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!!!

This issue features:

THE GONZO BLOGGY HEN DOES WHAT?

The Gonzo Daily - Sunday

http://www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

And for no real reason Sunday's notifications are done in rhyme

 

Corinna and Graham came out and then

came back with half a dozen rescued hens

One immediately died of shock, but five

are clucking in their coop all still alive

and we hope that they will all do well

away from their batteried living hell

 

And although its not much to do with Gonzo

check out mine and Charlotte's webTV show

and spread the word both far and wide

hold on, it's gonna be a bumpy ride

* 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.co.uk

 

* 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 57 who - together with a Jack Russell called Archie, an infantile orange cat named after a song by Frank Zappa, and two half grown kittens, one totally coincidentally named after one of the Manson Family, purely because she squeaks, puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish. 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 Archie and the Cats?
