2. MAESTROVOX
article/interview with Charles Hayward about the MAESTROVOX:
" I used a Maestrovox keyboard with This Heat, set up just to the left of my drum kit (alongside a Bontempi electronic organ with about 3 sounds). It can be heard throughout This Heat's recordings and was used onstage for most of the group's gigs. The Maestrovox was a fascinating instrument... " [ Read more ]

0. Website restarting
Apologizes for the late weeks without information here. All webmaster's fault... (it's me). Just updating these pages with recent past and forthcoming events and information, and there are big ones hereunder:
 
 
1. New release! : Clear Frame
" CLEAR FRAME features four of the most innovative and engaging British musicians of the last 40 years. Lol Coxhill, Charles Hayward, Hugh Hopper and Orphy Robinson (...) For this, their first CD release they are joined by the widely acclaimed Robert Wyatt on cornet..." (click to read more)
" An all-star line-up convened and recorded for a BBC radio project, subsequently radically reworked by Hugh Hopper. These are clear, defined and shapely improvisations, music rather than noise based, invoking the best of the '70s rock- improvisational approaches; genre-free and structurally-minded. Robert appears in an unfamiliar role, playing trumpet throughout, and everyone is on top form. A rarity in these times, this is deep rooted music that grows with listening." (Chris Cutler/Rèr)
