This obituary in the Independent, with an afterword by Jonathan Coe, probably amounts to the best write-up Pip has had in the UK in the last 30 years. ...
Hi, I've just talked to Alice, Pip's elder daughter. She told me Pip's funeral won't take place until sometime in the week after next, because of the...
Monday morning. Woke up, turned on the computer, read the news of Pip’s passing, the rest of the day was a fog, I went into denial mode… It was a mistake,...

First, I'll note my sadness over the unexpected death of Pip Pyle. He did much to enliven and propel Hatfield & National Health. Second, I think Lol Coxhill in...

Fan of both, but never had any thought of a possible combination of them. Lol Coxhill is sooo flexible whob could fit, but I don't think it's his cup of tea! ...
There are two rhyming slangs for "strides" (trousers) Jekylls (Jekyll and Hydes) Donkeys (Donkey Rides) However none of these explain where the word strides...
Hi Gang, I'm thinking of getting the "3 Sopranos" with Steve Lacy and Evan Parker, and "Lol Coxhill on Ogun". I'm really starting to like freeform style works....
"3 Sopranos" is not an Ogun album, but FMP. Steve Lacy never recorded (unfortunately) for Ogun. Riccardo Bergerone...

While playing over and over only albums featuring Pip, I rediscovered Absolute Zero's "Crashing Icons". I guess I didn't pay enough attention to it when I...

Hi Riccardo, I didn't mean that "3 Sopranos" was an Ogun album, nor that Steve Lacy ever recorded for Ogun. Lol's two albums he did for Ogun: "Diverse, and...
Hello : I celebrated Pip Pyle today by playing his wonderful BASH CD "Belle Illusion" - man, that band was smoking. I've enjoyed all the stories by the lucky...
I was looking at the John Peel web pages on the BBC radio website and was looking at canterbury bands listed on his show and discovered that on 16/11/1977...
Sorry, that was a big lie, but inside of the German September issue there is a pic of New York Gong (aka Material) with Daevid in the center! OK, not...
What's Fisher and Epstein? Is that the obscure American record that featured Egg as backing musicians? I've only heard rumours about this - tell me more! Alan ...

Still stunned about Pip but really can't add any more to what has already been said so eloquently. RIP. Ian and Aymeric mentioned Steve Lake's Melody Maker...

Ah, so Steve Lake "was the Melody Maker's "Canterbury" specialist from 1973 to 1977" (Rattlin #292) and I see he's now with ECM. That's a musical listening...
Terry, Will do at that! Off hand, I can think of Eberhard Weber's "Little Movement's" that I have and really like. Marshall is excellent, as well as Charlie...
Actually, Aymeric, Oregon *was* on ECM for a few years, following their ill-fated (but artistically fruitful) run on Elektra. They released three records for...
