Soft Machine Legacy June 17, 2011

Soft Machine Legacy was launched in 2004 with the original line-up of Elton Dean, Hugh Hopper, John Etheridge and John Marshall - a coalition of 4 long-time servers in different eras of the legendary group Soft Machine. The band quickly established a recording and touring schedule in Europe playing a repertoire of new originals and some vintage pieces. In 2006, following the sad death of Elton Dean, his place taken by Theo Travis, who has a continuing association with Gong and was thus perfectly sympathetic to the music. When Hugh Hopper passed away in 2008, Roy Babbington joined thus reuniting 3/5ths of the 1975-77 line up that recorded the acclaimed "Softs" album. A wonderful night in the company of supreme players at Band on the Wall.
