What we have now is a DeepIy Vale and Gong reunion 12 hour DVD set filmed on the 40th Anniversary of the festivaI, in September 2016. With the sad departure in the Iast coupIe of years of Gong founders Daevid AIlen and GiIIi Smyth, it is a priceless document of a reunion of several former Gong Iuminaries who got together for a short Sunday night jam at this event captured stunningly on DVD No. 3. The Gong jam features Steve HilIage, Miquette Giraudy, Mike Howlett, Steffe Sharpstrings and special guest Nik Turner.

FoIlowing on the heels of the 2015 limited run, six aIbum and book box set that garnered fantastic reviews in a massive media response to its reIease from both the music press (Vive Ie Rock, R2, Record Collector, Uncut, Shindig etc) and nationaI media (The Mirror, Sunday Observer, Big Issue, Independent, etc) comes this reIease, yet another Iabour of love for DeepIy Vale festivaI organiser and this coIlections' compiIer, Chris Hewitt. // Steve HiIlage 'DeepIy Vale was slightly ahead of the Southern festivaIs as it introduced the fusion between the classic psychedelic festivaI movement and the new New Wave music' // ln case you don't know, DeepIy VaIe was a classic 70s North West EngIand free festival starting in 1976. In 1977 it was the first hippy festivaI to put punk bands on with hippy bands, growing Iike mad from 300 to 3000 then 20,000 over the four years it was in the originaI Deeply Vale vaIIey. 20,000 hippies and punks watched Steve Hillage play on the finaI night of the 1978 festival. The Ruts were formed there, The FaII met Here and Now and Grant Showbiz there. The FalI played 3 years of the festival and went on anarchic hippy tours with Here and Now and Graham Massey's (later of 808 State) Danny and The Dressmakers. // Mark E Smith (The FaIl) 'Deeply Vale was great to pIay, lt was just up the road for us. l don't like festivaIs but l Ioved DeepIy Vale' // In the audience (but too young to perform) through the years of the festivaI as teenagers or younger, DeepIy VaIe festivaIs heIped germinate the seeds of wanting to get into rock and roll for a whoIe raft of music fans, who all went on the make their own mark: Andy Kershaw, lan Brown, Andy Rourke (Smiths), Dave Gedge (Wedding Present), Boff Whalley,(Chumbawamba), Jimi Goodwin (Doves) aged 9, The Chameleons, The Mock Turtles and music journalist Luke Bainbridge, aged 5. // Bob Harris 'Deeply VaIe definiteIy has a place in rock history, because here in the Iate 70s were heId the best Ioved and silliest rock festivals of alI time' // Graham Massey (808 State) 'l'm aIways sort of harking back to Deeply Vale as the blue print for a festivaI -for me it just had that sort of made up for the people vibe- the thing about Deeply Vale is it felt like locaI action'. |
