GALEN AYERS
“The best amount of anything to hold is too much and too many,” reads one of Kevin Ayers’ notes in Shooting At The Moon: The Collected Lyrics. The founding member of Soft Machine, Gong associate and legend of the Canterbury scene, was notorious for debauchery, moving around through bohemian enclaves in the south of France and Spain before settling in Deià, a costal village in Majorca, where he lived until the 1990s. If his sun and sangria lifestyle seems relaxed, Ayers still produced 15 solo albums from 1969’s to 2007’s .
