Hugh Hopper

We should have celebrated Hugh Hopper´s 75th birthday yesterday, but let´s just re-watch a video of Soft Machine live in Belgium 1971, and note that Phil Howitt is writing a Hopper biography to be published in late 2021 or early 2022 called "Dedicated To You But You Weren’t Listening – the musical journey of Hugh Hopper" (Jazz in Britain).
