Sun Ra Arkestra stranded..

[sidewinder]

I've heard reports that the Arkestra - under direction of Marshall Allen - is currently stranded in London due to the volcanic activity and flight restrictions.

They did an extra night at Cafe Oto in East London this weekend, I believe.

Total kudos to Marshall Allen for his dedication in keeping the show on the road

Echos maybe of their early 60s Montreal tour and getting stranded up there too?

Couldn't they go home via Saturn?

Inter-galactic spaceways shut until NATS & Eurocontrol say so !

Rocket No. 9 stuck on the tarmac etc. etc.

Well, they can still travel the interplanetary freeways by car, like Lemmy Caution does...

Sorry, but that's what they get for never having landed their space ship in my old country!
