Geronimo Starship Glastonbury Revelation

Through the past darkly
Radio Geronimo, where you'll find our archives....   

it's a new dawn, it's a new day
 help plot the return of Geronimo to a radio near you...
Geronimo Starship recorded the 1971 Glastonbury Fayre. Some of those recordings were issued on a triple vinyl set by Revelation Records in 1972. The current release on Akarma Records is a shoddy bootleg dubbed from the vinyl. Please do not buy it. In 2009 the original album will be officially reissued by the people who recorded it. Many rare recordings are in the Geronimo vaults and we will seek permission from the artists concerned to release as much of the archive as possible.

Glastonbury Fayre 1971

House of Mercy with Barry Marshall Everitt

May 2009
We've been sleeping for a while but for 2009 there is a lot of material to add to this website:

1. Studio quality reels from the archive
2. A rustic recording of the Geronimo Jimi Hendrix night
3. Glastonbury 1971 - more archives, posters, stickers, some amazing stuff
4. TV Documentary - the rough cut 10 minute demo
 May 2009 - NEWLY added material: http://www.radiogeronimo.com/2009.htm
4. A selection of listeners letters from 1970. OK, hundreds of letters to transcribe and publish:

These letters are from enthusiastic music lovers. Are we to suppose that their enthusiasm for good music died when Geronimo was silenced in 1970? Our enthusiasm hasn't. It's only radio that has died. But we are still alive, and so are many of the millions who listened keenly to Geronimo in 1970. 2010 will be our 40th anniversary so we intend to do something very special.

5. We now have 3x archive shows from Barry Everitt onboard the radioship MV Amigo at our sister website www.radioseagull.co.uk

Please check back soon, or send us a message

 

Moonshine from Monaco
a poem by Alex Barzdo

We were stardust, children
Moving Earth to Eden.
Disabused of stale mildew,
Smoking words where no guns grew,
Stroking music from disdain, hope from early dew.
 
We were golden in the silver;
Clutching a new voice in the darking river;
Nudging a dial to borrowed sleeves
Overswept with crested leaves;
Listening, glistening in ears that longed in sheaves.
 
Here the Garden’s sweetest flower
In tombs of rooms that once were sour,
At festivals we camped at Patching,
Respect for artistry newly hatching.
Nights the sun could smile, a sleepy kitten scratching
 
When the sheep lay soft in slumber
Seekers found a newer number,
Freedom in a void will die
Without the warming breath of love
Purer than crisp new snow, awaiting tracks for us to know
Radio Geronimo
