Kevin Ayers (of Soft Machine fame) has died.RIP.

I'd imagine there's a lot of people on Shrimperzone who will be very distressed at this news. He was after all the bassist of a barely known band for two whole years nearly 50 years ago.

:nope:

His Dad Roy was much better.

You clearly never saw Soft Machine play.In any case have some respect for the dead.

 

[Supernaut]

Sad news indeed. He'll forever be in Syd Barrett's shadow for me, but I still love plenty of his work. RIP.

I'll remember that comment for when Thatcher dies.

He was in Soft Machine from 1966-1968 before I was born so no I am gutted to say I missed out. Its not about respect but I reckon 0.1% of the Shrimperzone public have a clue who he was to be honest. Did you know Ken Smith of the Electric Shoes (1963-1966) just died? Surely you should post another RIP post on a football website for him? He was a genius.....

 

[C'mon you Shrimpers]

saw him live at Uni. Pretty good. I saw Soft Machine at the new college building in the late 60s must have been. Can't remeber if he was still with therm. I actually have an old vinyl album of his. Elton John plays a bit of piano on it.

Like Barnablue I only have respect for the dead not the undead.

so true, so very, very true. I can retire in June. Not sure I'm going to at the moment. Working out the cash.
