Episode Synopsis
Daevid Allen, A musical tribute to one of my musical heroes and a unique creative spirit, Daevid Allen. A founding member of Soft Machine in the mid 60's, leaving when he was refused entry to the UK after a French tour in 1967.
He is best known for founding the band Gong. Throughout all his music, poetry, art and indeed his lifestyle he incorporated his philosophy of spirituality, love, psychedelic enlightenment and playfulness. A writer of great songs.
Daevid also experimented tirelessly in more abstract and ambient music forms, often with a deeply spiritual undercurrent, collaborating with many different artists across the globe. Daevid Allen died in March 2015 but for many his legacy lives on in many ways
