Hurdy Gurdy man. Steve Hillage. I am so going to buy music by this guy. I used to have motivation radio on tape, remember those. Didn’t know who made the album at the time, just its name written on it. Never bothered to check it out. Until now a forgotten memory. Brought flooding back Cheers LastFM, how the cassette got into my possession, I can’t remember.
Currently listening to anonymous two by Focus, it’s a 20min+ musical experience and I’m livin’ it.

It seems Steve Hillage was a member of gong in the early days before going off to do his own stuff, didn’t know any of the details, It was all about the tunes. Nothing else remains.
And now to bring this all to a tidy end… erm link if you still are wondering what the hell is a hurdy gurdy.
