There were a fair few legends at Glastonbury this weekend, but perhaps none more closely associated with the festival than prog/ambient guitar master Steve Hillage.
Having been a member of Gong during their imperial Radio Gnome Trilogy phase, Hillage actually helped to organise the 1979 Glastonbury Fayre, backing Peter Gabriel as well performing a stunning solo headline set which is finally seeing an official release as The Glastonbury Experience: Live 1979 via Madfish on July 15.
After forming System 7 in the early ’90s, Hillage played a key role in setting up Glastonbury’s first official dance stage and was later involved in establishing a more DIY dance area, The Glade. In a long, varied and always open-minded career, Hillage has also toured with Kevin Ayers, produced The Charlatans, collaborated with Detroit techno originator Derrick May and played the Reading Festival with Sham 69!
