Canterbury Adscene, settimanale di cronaca del Kent, riporta in prima pagina la notizia della morte di Pip Pyle, citando anche un intervento di Richard Sinclair. Così riassume l'articolo un iscritto a What's Rattlin'?:
My copy of the local free newspaper, the Canterbury Adscene has just plopped through my letter box. The front page headline is usually concerned with local car-parking rows or an old-age pensioner being mugged, but this week it's "City Stunned By Death Of Drummer Pip"...
Underneath a colour photo of Pip there's a quote from Richard Sinclair --"Pip was the leader of the pack for the Canterbury Scene. He was a do-er and always lived life to the full."
He continues... "Drumming was not all that Pip was about, he was also an incredible lyricist, songwriter and composer. We have received so many messages of sympathy and support from across the globe since it happened, begging us to tell them it isn't true. Pip was loved and respected by everyone."
As for the Canterbury Festival show on Oct 20th, Richard vowed that the show must go on. "There are so many musicians who would be honoured to step into Pip's shoes to play his music which they know so well."
