If I had been at the same cafe as him on that particular day I would have walked casually over to his table during a break in the interview and said, 'May I? Sit and stare at you, for a while? I'd like the company, of your smile.' :)
@TQ95 Ahahah, very well told mate, and I'm very surprised to read in your profile you are so young, knowing so many things about him. Tell me, did you stop him at the bar, asking him for a photo or similar?
@TQ95 Thanks for your comment, that seems to me very understandable! Me too I hope to come across him somehow sometime... unlucky he doesn't tour anymore. May I ask you if you met him during a public event or just along the street?
@sketchgrrl Wow, so envy! Tell me sketchgrrl, is he really so charming and carismatic in person? Did you feel it? Of course you know about his fame related with women :)
@killuminati63 Seriously, Kevin Ayers is so unknown and underrated that he makes Syd Barrett seem like a superstar. The two both had same rejection of the commercial side of the music biz (touring, promotion, TV appearances).
As a fan of many years, I only hope he's living comfortably wherever he is.
@siouxie921 I love your thinking of Kevin Ayers...I have the same wish for him. He has been a favorite of mine since the 70's...a true Artist, His song writing and the players on his recordings....All Brilliant...I love Kevin, He has given us so much to love in his music. He remains a favorite and holds a special place in me...for 30+ years!
I always liked Kevins approach.Didn't suffer fools ,refused to be exploited for commercial gain-despised the system that reduced people to units of capital and he created great lasting music.
@caravaneriam Me too I like his approach, but I think it's controversial: don't forget that he often declared that a lot of his records (the last one included) just came out for business' purpose!
@caravaneriam I simply think that kevin Ayers had some lucky possibiliteis in his life and that his honour was to have caught them or refused them just in order of his edonism, which of course was not made only by money or fame...
@caravaneriam ...(also if some of his friends were millionaires). Also he wasn't in big ideology (his friend Robert Wyatt and communism party), nor in crazy mystic (his friend Daevid Allen)...
@caravaneriam ...wine, music, art, women, mediterranean sun, fishing, reading a lot of books, especially by Gurdijeff, was enough.. his talent the rest. And that's why I like him so much.
nice comments on this very authentic musician/being....i am (in fact0 posthumanhero..this is my musician account -- i think u would like my music immensly -- been doing it since the 70s.........oh, just so u know.
Darren, sorry for my late reply, but thank you very much for your nice comment and my best compliments for your art: I saw a documentary about you here on YouTube, you're incredible man!! Best wishies
from 1070-1976 the man never wrote a dud.......and i hear his newest cd is a return to form.....despite his low estimation of himself as a musician i think he's an excellent composer with a unique vocal presence.......and not a bad bass player to boot.
@namaste91 Thanks for your comment, the first my videos receive since I subscribed YouTube... yeah, relaxed... also if my impression is to listen someone who broke down his illusions... anyway, I always appreciated his honesty, and anyway he has tons of style to sell, parbleu!

See him holding the rolling paper?

Ayers' voice has such resonance (partly due to being a lifelong smoker) that it can be very sinister - as in "The Confessions of Dr. Dream."

I love Kevin Ayers. I was lucky enough to get to interview him in Hoboken, NJ in the 1990s on his first solo tour of the US.

I also tend to think Mike Oldfield was firstly inspired through the work with Kevin´s band The Whole World.. (Tubular Bells)
