I'll be playing in the following:
29th September Edinburgh Queens Hall
1st October Manchester Royal Northern College of Music
2nd October London Royal Festival Hall
Ticket details are now up at touring
Have to let you know about this straight away. Recently found 8mm footage has been married up with audio and it's now possible to see/hear 12 minutes of VdGG at Massey Hall, Toronto in 1976.Wonderful work by Jim Christopulos. Prettty astonishing, actually. Here you go: https://youtu.be/8y-NOSMG22c
I should also give thanks to Michael Boyce, who originally shot the footage!
There's a new/old release out today on Esoteric: "Incoherence". This is now totally remkixed and comes in a couple of different forms. I've written about it over at the journal, so I won't repeat myself here. But I hope you enjoy it. I think it's much improved.
Just finished a lovely tour of Italy with great venues and audiences. Life-affirming. The next shows will be in Athens in January and details are at touring.
Following the ending of the Sofa Sound mail order shop we've now also closing down our mailbox. This means, of course, that there will no longer be a terrestrial address for us.
Esoteric Records have kindly agreed to receive any mail that you wish to send. They are at:
Esoteric Recordings
Though to be honest email (to contact@sofasound.com) remains the best channel of communication.
As explained below, the Sofa Sound mail order shop has now closed and the official PH store has moved to Burningshed.com.
It's quite an emotional moment to say goodbye to this business, which has gone through so many mutations over the years. Perhaps in the coming days, when my equilibrium's somewhat restored, I'll write something about this, either here or over at the Journal pages - sadly neglected as they've been for a long while.
As and when there's any news to announce it will, of course, continue to be posted here.
Mille grazie, merci beaucoup, danke schön, duomo arigato and all the rest...this book is ended.
We've been running Sofa Sound as a mail order business for over forty years, from way back in pre-internet days. The time has now come for us to stop doing so. Inevitably, Brexit has a part to play in this but there are other factors in play as well.
The official online mail order shop for my stuff will be moving over to www.burningshed.com from the 1st July. Many of you will already know that they're a super-efficient and straightforward company and they're much better placed than we are to weather the continuing bumpy ride we're currently on.
It goes without saying how much we appreciate the loyalty and enthusiasm which so many of you have shown to and for our little operation over so many years. Thank you. It's true to say that at many times in the past I wouldn't have been able to carry on making music without the support which you've given via Sofa Sound.
Time for a change, though: onward we go.
Regarding the site...
The intention here is to have a fundamentally "white paper" place from which information rather than entertainment (or information as entertainment) can be gleaned. To this end the site should be under fairly constant revision. Once again, my apologies for being negligent in this regard over the last few months.
