	VH1.com : Kevin Ayers : Biography - Urge Music Downloads
		Kevin Ayers is one of rock's oddest and more likable enigmas, even if often he's seemed not to operate at his highest potential.
		Ayers cultivated a taste for the bohemian lifestyle early, spending much of his childhood in Majorca before he moved with his mother to Canterbury in the early '60s.
		Ayers was never less than enjoyable and original, though his albums were erratic right from the start, veering from singalong ditties and pleasant, frothy folk ballads to dissonant improvisation.

	Kevin Ayers
		After his family moved back to England, Ayers found escape from the far more rigid lifestyle through his association with a circle of musician/friends that included Hugh Hopper and Robert Wyatt -- both of whom had fallen under the influence of wanderer Daevid Allen.
		Ayers took his leave of The Flowers in 1965, choosing instead to accompany Daevid Allen on one of his many travels.
		The following year, Ayers and Allen returned to England together after having secured some funds from a wealthy American in Ibiza; Wyatt and keyboardist Mike Ratledge were brought on board, and Soft Machine was underway.

	'You need a bit missing upstairs to play this game' \| \| Guardian Unlimited Arts
		Kevin Ayers, born in 1945 in Herne Bay, Kent, was one of the people drawn into the intimate circle of well-bred Canterbury schoolboys - Robert Wyatt, Mike Ratledge, Hugh and Brian Hopper - who happened to meet the real thing, Daevid Allen, in 1961.
		The son of Rowan Ayers, a BBC producer, he was partly brought up in the Far East by his stepfather, a district officer in British Malaysia.
		Ayers is too self-deprecating, too elusive and knowing to ever have made it big.

		Ayers left the Soft Machine for a solo career when his basic pop leanings appeared at odds with the intense jazz/rock of his former colleagues.
		Kevin Ayers belongs to that list of late 1960s musicians such as Nick Drake and Syd Barrett who retain their English accent on record.
		Kevin Ayers has been musically likened to Nick Drake and Syd Barrett but he lacks the melancholy and some of the poetic genius of Nick Drake and also the manic intensity of Syd Barrett.

		Kevin Ayers, preparing to tour with his new band, decided to invite several friends and old colleagues to participate in a one-off concert.
		Whatever the legacy of Kevin Ayers may be in a general sense, these particular tracks don't speak terribly well of his songwriting abilities.
		The rest of the Ayers songs are decent enough as pop numbers, but generally don't add up to much more.

		Kevin Ayers was born in the UK on the 16th August 1944 in Herne Bay, Kent.
		Ayers was to be more influenced by the spontaneity, freedom and informality of the Eastern lifestyle that surrounded him than by the overtones of Colonial privilege that had placed him there.
		Ayers' tribute to Syd Barrett, 'O! Wot A Dream', was released as a single, with 'Connie On A Rubber Band' on the B-side, the latter a version of 'Clarence In Wonderland' backed by reggae group Greyhound.

		Kevin Ayers, in my humble opinion is one of the most overlooked of British performers who emerged as part of the Canterbury Circus from the 1960's.
		Kevin Ayers' albums are idiosyncratic for two reasons, the quality of the songwriting and the diverse styles and types of music which he employs.
		Like the fine wine that Ayers is reputed to enjoy, his albums are a little of an aquired taste which require a little concentration and which provide one with much cerebral enjoyment.

		Kevin Ayers the former Soft Machine member and Mike Oldfield collaborator, and core member of The Canterbury scene that spawned Caravan, plays a rare live show.
		Kevin grew up with Richard Sinclair (Caravan), Mike Ratledge and Hugh Hopper (Soft Machine) and Daevid Allen (Gong) Kevin came to prominence in the late 60's with Soft Machine who toured the US with The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
		Superb guitarist Ollie Halsall joined Kevin and producer Rupert Hine for the impressive 1974 "Confessions of Doctor Dream" and in the same year Kevin achieved a lifetime's ambition when he recorded the still sought after "June 1st 1974" album in island records with his heroes Nico, Eno and John Cale.

		Kevin Ayers' third and fourth albums represent, respectively, the last will and testament of the Whole World, the almost freakishly maverick band he pieced together around Mike Oldfield, David Bedford, and Lol Coxhill, and the first flowering of the willfully pop-tinged moods into which he moved once that band shattered.
		Elsewhere, "Decadence" predicts Ayers' later collaboration with Nico by dedicating at least a couple of verses to her, and packs a moody grandiosity that might well rank among Ayers' most perfectly realized compositions ever.
		Fans frequently cite Ayers' earlier albums as the man at his finest and that may be true.

	KEVIN AYERS discography, MP3 and reviews
		Present at the very beginning of the Canterbury Scene as a key member of the WILDE FLOWERS alongside such Canterbury veterans as Robert Wyatt, Richard Sinclair and Hugh Hopper in 1963, Kevin Ayers was already secured a place in Canterbury history.
		By 1966 SOFT MACHINE was born, and Kevin Ayers was recruited as a bassist and vocalist for the group.
		Ayers continues to play informal gigs as and when and may even swagger into the studio once more, but maintains as much of a laid-back attitude to these activities as his music itself exudes.

		All of side two (vinyl version) features former Soft Machine guitarist Kevin Ayers, whose music is an aquired tase in my opinion, but not as powerful or compelling as Cale, Eno, or Nico.
		Ayers winds up sounding like a lightweight version of Cale, or The Velvet Underground, without the tunes or vision of say Jonathan Richman and The Modern Lovers.
		The Ayers songs could be called ballads or straightforward rock vocals, and are FANTASTIC.

		I think Kevin Ayers was a musical genius and a brilliant songwriter.
		This is a continuation of the song Kevin first debuted with Soft Machine.
		I wish that Kevin had stuck around with that group for a little while longer, but just as George Harrison had to get out of the Beatles to do All Things Must Pass, Kevin had to be free to give us Joy of a Toy.

	Kevin Ayers Reissues: 1969-1973
		Kevin Ayres is one of the few remaining solo artists from the 1960’s who is still performing.
		Kevin decided to record and go out on tour with a twelve-piece orchestra but this proved to be too expensive.
		While there are not many survivors from the 1960’s music scene who are still active, its good to know that Kevin Ayers is still performing live and apparently is going to release a new album soon.

	VIVONZEUREUX! / LETSLIVAPPY! : Kevin Ayers, let the good time have you
		With "There is loving", there's not much experimentation, but an orchestral arrangement which might bring memories of Kevin Ayers' label mates Pink Floyd.
		The seven other songs are "isolated" tracks, and it is rather strange that the next two songs are maybe the weakest of the record, "Margaret", a rather anonymous ballad, and "Oh my", a cabareggae sounding song, in a furrow often ploughed by Ayers, but without much to go for it in this particular case.
		Kevin Ayers has a reputation for having preferred the sun to the English weather (actually, he spent his youth far from England, in one of the colonies of the Bristih Empire).
