E a proposito di Julie Tippetts, giunge tramite Martin Archer di Discus Music un invito ad amici e sostenitori a offrirle aiuto economico in un momento di difficoltà, per esempio procedendo all'acquisto di qualcuno dei molti lavori suoi o del marito Keith pubblicati dall'etichetta, oltre a quelli prodotti assieme allo stesso Martin. Si ottengono facilmente tramite Bandcamp senza incorrere in costi di importazione dal Regno Unito. E sono tutti splendidi: Sound On Stone (Keith and Julie Tippetts / Couple In Spirit), Aeolian, The Monk Watches The Eagle, The Unlonely Raindancer e The Nine Dances Of Patrick O’Gonogon (Keith Tippett), Illusion, Vestigium, Serpentine, Tales of FiNiN e Ghosts Of Gold (Julie Tippetts & Martin Archer).
Scrive Archer: "Julie, as you will know, is one of the finest singers ever to come out of the UK, first in her early days as pop icon Julie Driscoll, followed by the years after her marriage to Keith Tippett working in many leftfield music situations. It’s been a massive honour for me to work with both these unique musicians over the last decades. For a while now, ill health has prevented Julie from working in music, and her income from performing has dwindled to virtually nothing. The situation has now come to head as Julie is incurring costs moving out of her home of many decades into more manageable accommodation where she can be safe, and close to her family. I’m asking you to buy some of her music, or Keith’s music, to help. All the releases listed below broke even a while ago, and so any funds generated by this appeal will go direct to Julie."
