NAMED after Daevid Allen’s first album with Gong, The Magick Brothers first toured in the early 1990s with their Live at The Wychwood album.
The trio – septuagenarian space cadet Allen, plus Graham Clark of 808 State and Kangaroo Moon’s Mark Robson – turn up at Champions, Westbourne on Thursday to “present a side of the multi-musical persona Daevid Allen which is more acoustically and spiritually based, with themes of renewal and self-initiation to the fore”, it says here.
A founding member of Soft Machine and Gong, Allen has been a performer, visual artist and communicator for more than 50 years.
Graham Clark’s violin has been hired by the likes of Elbow and Lamb, while he also played with Graham Massey’s 808 State’s Toolshed project. Multi-instrumentalist Mark Robson has been involved with Allen since joining the The Invisible Opera Company Of Tibet in Australia in the late 1980s.
