Damnable news - such a shame. Was going through his anthology only last Friday.

Think that was 1970 with Pink Floyd. The Whole World Band included Mike Oldfield, David Bedford, Lol Coxhill & Robert Wyatt & it was indeed something to remember.

1970 too early for me - and never saw Floyd. 1974 possibly? LIne up was Ayers headlining, with a set from Nico and also Chapman Whitney Streetwalkers and also possibly a Gong offshoot of some sort? Do recall it was v hot and Ayers was impressive.

Always loved Bananamour. First time I saw him was on Whistle Test playing Shouting in a bucket blues.

Yes, I heard on national news last night. i feel so sad about this.  Without wishing to sound melodramatic, every time another death like this happens, I feel as if another fragment of my youth has gone. I've loved his solo albums for so long.

I hope he had some good wine on his last day.

Yes, and didn't Robert sound halting? He may have been quite upset. They go back a long way, though KA has apparently hidden himself away  for a long time.
