SUNFLOWER JAM 2012



The sixth annual SUNFLOWER JAM takes place on SUNDAY 16 SEPTEMBER at the ROYAL ALBERT HALL and there is a stellar line-up of rock and roll talent on show to raise money for a great cause.

Host Jeremy Irons will be on hand once again to move marshall the proceedings, and the musical line-up this year is spectacular. Living Legends BRIAN MAY, BRUCE DICKINSON, IAN PAICE and JOHN PAUL JONES will all perform along with ALFIE BOE and MARK KING, who is appearing for the first time!

And once again there is a brilliant house band on show to back up those legends. The house band features Paul Wix Wickins as Musical Director & keyboardist, Uli Jon Roth on guitar, Steve Balsamo and Margo Bucanhan on vocals, Jerry Brown on drums and Nick Fyffe on bass.

As well as a great bill and some great music, this is bound to be a poignant affair as the late, great Jon Lord - a longtime supporter of the Sunflower Jam - had been due to perform, which means that this year's event will give some of his close friends a chance to say goodbye.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
