Back in May, the wonderful Fabio Golfetti, now guitarist with Gong, stayed with us for a whirlwind 24 hours. We’d been threatening to do an interview for years, and the opportunity finally arose. What transpired was 6 or 7 hours of informal chat which has ended up as a sort of mini-biography which will be published on the Facelift blog over the next couple of weeks. Today, to set the scene, is an introduction as to how we first were in touch over 30 years ago. Tomorrow we get fully stuck into Fabio’s early years, his influences, and his connection to Gong and the Canterbury scene in the 70s and 80s… – Phil Howitt (08 July 2024)
