Let's pay hommage to Kevin Ayers today, member of the early Canterbury band Wilde Flowers, and also in the early stages of Soft Machine. I guess Kevin was too much of a pop guy to fit in with the art-prog-jazz guys in SF. Later he published a lot of good records on his own, and with The Whole World. Look at this video, it is just beautiful, with Lol Coxhill on sax and Mike Oldfield on bass!
Curiosa: Kevin Ayers sings in a pub in Hanif Kureishi's book:The Buddha of Suburbia.
