Enlivened with posters, cartoons, photos from each episode. To be published by Saf Publishing by end November... In final layout process now" also re-released: MOTHER GONG LIVE 1991 - new remastered version - see related page
AVAILABLE FROM G.A.S. :
July 6, 2008 - Gilli's notes The Gong gigs in London were great, just great....the Forum club probably went off more than the Southbank because people were standing, allowed to dance or move around. At the Southbank rebellion broke through towards the end when people erupted from their seats to dance....the day was solved by organiser Glen Max who stopped the security from throwing people out.....it was a real continuation to the Uncon gigs and led to much future planning for a new album and tour next year. On return have been working with Orlando (who composed the music) on the "Brave world of the New' album...referring to Aldous Huxley but really it is contains situations that we need to think about now, as we teeter on the 'tipping point' of climate change, financial meltdown, social disorder..... Also putting together the hard copy book that a London publisher (Dave Halberry) is bringing out....a compilation of all my poetry and other books, including the Historical Politico Spirito Part I and now after the Uncon...Part II. Another project is an album about young Muslim women, and how they are the Magdalenes of today, vilified, punished, but so strong in political action and their own beliefs....This is with Max and Misbah, recently of the Alpha Omega band in Brisbane." Gilli June 26, 2008
