It’s the 29th of October 2004 as I write this and I feel that I have to mark the untimely death of my friend and colleague Kevin Westlake. It was a huge shock even though he had been ill for quite some time.

He is, without doubt, one of my favourite musicians and composers/performers.
Totally underestimated and appreciated by the business but, nevertheless, he leaves a lifetime of music behind that, in the fullness of time, will mark him as one of the few, truly original, musicians, poets and artists of my generation.

He is, and will remain, deeply and sadly missed by all who knew him.
