David Bedford R.I.P

We here at Gonzo were saddened to hear of the death of David Bedford. David had been battling lung cancer for some time when he died on October 1st.

He was involved in the career of many rock artists in addition to composing and releasing his own albums including the Rime of The Ancient Mariner, The Odyssey and Stars End to name just three.

He is probably best remembered by Rock fans for his work with Mike Oldfield on Tubular Bells and The Orchestral Tubular Bells. David also worked with Mike in Kevin Ayers band The Whole World at the start of the seventies.

His most recent release was through Gonzo and was a live recording of The Odyssey recorded with an all star cast of musicians at the Royal Albert Hall in January 1977.

Gonzo MD Rob Ayling said this about David Bedford.

"I have been a fan of David's work for many years and he worked with so many artists over the years that formed a great deal of my record collection including Kevin Ayers, Roy Harper and of course Mike Oldfield. I was thrilled to be able to work with David on some of his own releases through Voiceprint and Gonzo including the most recent Live release of The Odyssey concert. I shall miss his music but also miss the man immensely"

David Bedford 4th August 1937-1st October 2011

Eliza Carthy Gift Band On Tour Union Chapel November 2010 DVD Released

This is an incredibly intimate experience.

Even though it is shot in the splendour of the Union Chapel, all moody and
churchlike, watching it, you still feel as though you are in the room with the
Carthy family having a private sing song.
Norma and Eliza chat and banter throughout and the music is
spontaneous and sublime.

The set consists of songs from the multi-award winning GIFT album as well
material from Norma Waterson solo albums – virtually all of which they haven’t
played live before.

The tour was abruptly cut short, not as expected by Eliza’s baby arriving
early (she is 8 months pregnant – and magnificent – at the time of the tour!)
but by Norma’s sudden and almost fatal illness, that left her hospitalized
for the next 8 months.

Thankfully Norma is now back home making a slow but sure recovery,
much to everyone’s huge relief.

Featuring a wonderful performance from Norma, sympathetically supported
by Eliza, Martin and the rest of the band – this is a unique experience not to
be missed by Waterson and Carthy fans both old and new.
