Suze Da Blooze

UK artist, singer, performer, born in Lancaster on Feb 11th 1950, and deceased in August 2007.
In the early 70’s Suze attended Exeter University. While in Exeter she joined a band called “Tribe”. In early summer 1976, she danced on stage with Here & Now at Devon festival, and gradually joined the band over that summer. She was also a member of Planet Gong, along with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and the rest of Here & Now in 1977.
Suze left the Here & Now band in January 1979 with KifKif Le batteur (her partner), and by 1980 she had formed an all girl band The Androids of Mu with Corrina, Cozzie and Birsen. Although a collaborative project, Suze shared lead vocals with Corrina and wrote much of their material.
Mainly during the 1990’s, a lot of Suze’s time went into organising theatrical events at various venues and camps, including co-ordinating week-long performing arts camps for the rainbow circle in the UK. She also directed ‘Astro-theatre’ at astrology camps and often performed with Alan Dogend’s fun “Little Majic Theatre”.
When she passed away in 2007, the original members of Here & Now reunited spontaneously for a musical tribute that was recorded and issued as Wild & Free.
