Hi there ,
I recently diccovered some rare vids of Kevin Ayers & The Whole World on YouTube ( with a young Mike on bass), this led me on to looking for some Soft Machine,found some vids from 1967.
I did have a neighbour Bob had many Canterbury bands in his record collection,unfortunately Bob had MS and died aged 44 due to some complications. I know he had some bands Kevin Ayers, "Caravan" ,"Gong" ,"Hatfield and The North", Soft Machine I didn't really get to play through them all, and maybe I needed to give the LP's a few spins to really get into them .
I really got into KA&TWW about a year or so ago,I think it took a few listens to really get into,I'd like to check out some more Canterbury Scene bands.
I did see some of a Robert Wyatt documentary on BBC2 about 2 years ago, but I did find much of his music a bit "avant garde" .
Any reccomendations please.
 
BTW I did see aCD of Robert Wyatt and Friends ,in the HMV Shop, I think it was a live concert , I know Mike plays guitar on some tracks . Can't remember much else about it except all the musicians were pictured whizzing around in wheelchairs on the back cover. I haven't got round to buying this as I do think someof RW's music is a bit too experimental for my ears.
