Hardly any Drones at all actually - just a great bunch of bands and musicians having huge fun. Recorded at The Real Music Club, Brighton, February 8th 2015 at a benefit gig for daevid allen. An audio postcard from the seaside to raise much needed funds for Gilli's care, which would please daevid. I particularly enjoy the dada/daevid-esque inspired mayhem the wonderful Monty Oxymoron brings to the party. In fact across the board it's quite a well balanced spread of many of daevid's musical oeuvres on display - spacey, rocky, ambienty, folky, spirity - many of the 'ees' in fact. Deepest gratitude to Gregg McKella, Paul Woodright, Cliff Dowding and all who helped make the event so memorable and this release possible. Stylish gatefold card sleeve. Limited edition of 200. Also available on Bandcamp.
