Avalon Stage

Gong... Sunday night... Avalon Stage... most of the rest of the festival watching David Bowie... we knew... Bowie would be shown on television... Gong? never... the first part of their set tepid jazz rock... then they began playing parts of 'Flying Teapot' and 'Camembert Electrique'... magnificient... who'd have thought that such a bunch of old duffers could play like that... electric atmosphere... sympathetic lightshow... encore... happy crowd... drifted off to sleep dreaming of Bowie's set on television back in civilisation... heaven.
