The Kevin Ayers Thread

[Nai Noswad]

Kevin Ayers, considered to be a founding member of British pysch folk and The Canterbury Scene.
Formed Soft Machine with Robert Wyatt and Co-worked with many many more. Andy Summers of The Police worked with him and cited him as "England's best musician" .
Sadly he passed in 2013.
(starting with a song I've rated, like forever!)
