KEVIN AYERS


Over at the simply scintillating Voodoo Wagon there is really a treat from Thursday last and an update on the work of Kevin Ayers with three (3 count 'em!) sets, one classic from 1976 and as an added bonus two sets from the nineties including the Gong 25th Birthday party!

Now these may need a programme like Audacity to split them as they are all (each) in single files. I am currently just getting through the 1976 set and it is very good quality as a broadcast you would expect that I guess but it is a real treat.
