A favourite song from his Shooting At The Moon album from 1970, The Oyster & The Flying Fish, a duet with Bridget St John.
After Soft Machine his next band was The Whole World, with David Bedford, Lol Coxhill, Robert Wyatt and Mike Oldfield. This was back in the days of wine and whimsy when rock musicians could play at being jazz musicians and not take themselves too seriously. Farewell, Kevin Ayers.
Ah…so sad when they seem to go gently into that good night. Bon Voyage Kevin. x
gentle, intelligent & inspiring
