Description:
This group is about Canterbury Scene.

The Canterbury scene (or Canterbury sound) is a term used to loosely describe the group of progressive rock, avant-garde and jazz musicians, many of whom were based around the city of Canterbury, Kent, England during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Many prominent British avant-garde or fusion musicians began their career in Canterbury bands, such as Hugh Hopper, Steve Hillage, Dave Stewart, Robert Wyatt, Kevin Ayers, Daevid Allen, Mike Ratledge, Fred Frith, and Peter Blegvad. Over the years, with band membership changes and new bands evolving, the term has been used to describe a musical style or subgenre, rather than a regional group of musicians. [From Wikipedia]

    Due to illness, Hugh Hopper has had to cancel all engagements, including his solo gigs. He is strong in spirit, with great support from family & friends, & we all pray he makes a full recovery. A Hugh Hopper Benefit/Donations concert has been arranged, with all profits going to Hugh. The Concert will be held at the 100 Club Oxford Street London 14th December 2008. Also MoonjuneRecords has set up special deals of Hugh Hopper related CD's, & also deals with all CD's from their excellent catalogue. Full details on my channel page. http://it.youtube.com/user/TheSoftMachineFamily www.moonjunerecords.com www.the100club.co.uk
