La serata dedicata al "Canterbury Sound" (Canterbury, Marlowe Theatre, il prossimo 20 ottobre) all'interno del Canterbury Festival di quest'anno non avrà la partecipazione dei Caravan, a causa della non buona salute di Richard Coughlan; ci sarà invece una nuova formazione guidata da Geoff Richardson e Jim Leverton. Confermate invece le presenze di Brainville / Hugh Hopper Band e Hatfield & the North (con Mark Fletcher in formazione).
Ecco un breve comunicato a proposito:
"The Canterbury Sound concert in this year’s Canterbury Festival (Marlowe Theatre, Friday 20 October) will be going ahead despite the tragic death of Hatfield and the North’s drummer Pip Pyle. Caravan’s drummer – Richard Coughlan has withdrawn due to illness, and the band Caravan will be replaced by a new line up of Canterbury musicians led by musical legends Jim Leverton and Geoff Richardson. Brainville/Hugh Hopper Band will be appearing as billed. Rosie Turner (Festival Director) says “Having spoken to a number of the musicians including Richard Sinclair and Hugh Hopper, we are determined that the Canterbury Sound will live on in tribute to Pip. He will be greatly missed but we feel he would be happy that other musicians have the chance to join the concert, and keep the Canterbury Sound alive."
Tickets are priced £18 and are available from the Marlowe Theatre Box Office 01227 787787
