Along the way, Gong has brought influential kindred into the band including Daevid Allen, Steve Hillage, Didier Malherbe, Tim Blake, Pip Pyle, Pierre Moerlen, Theo Travis, Mike Howlett, Allan Holdsworth and Bill Bruford. A renaissance of the band began in 2009, with Allen adding Ian East (woodwinds), Dave Sturt (bass), Fabio Golfetti (guitar) and Kavus Torabi (also on guitar) into Gong. Allen's life was brought to its earthly conclusion in 2015, but the band has continued with the addition of Cheb Nebbles on drums. This is GONG today.
