The music
that defined a generation
The term ?Canterbury Sound' is used to refer to the signature
psychedelic and progressive rock developed by artists such as Caravan, and Soft Machine. Canterbury Christ Church
University host a day-long series of events that explore
Canterbury as a symbolic space of music inspiration through discussions
with artists, cultural intermediates, and academics. Expect to hear from
Geoffrey Richardson (Caravan), Aymeric Leroy (author of L'?cole de
Canterbury and Calyx site), Phil Howitt (Facelift fanzine founder) and
many more.

A Spiegeltent
party to close the Festival in style
Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Hamish
Stuart shot to fame in the 1970's as the falsetto voice
of The Average
White Band, his distinctive songwriting and guitar style paving
the way for the band's worldwide success. When the AWB split in 1982,
Hamish went on to tour and record with an array of soul stars including
Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, George Benson and Chaka Khan, for whom he
wrote the No.1 chart hit Whatcha
Gonna Do For Me? Hamish will be closing the Festival for
us with a set to remember.

Songs from
the Emerald Isle
Mary Black
is an Irish folk singer with a voice that will give you
goosepimples. For a number of years, What Hi-Fi? magazine considered Black's
voice to be so pure, that it was used as an audiophile benchmark for comparing
the sound quality of different high-fi systems. Music critic and lyricist
Michael Leahy once said: "Over the years, Mary Black has come to
define what many people see as the essence of Irish woman singers:
profound, slightly ethereal and beyond the reaches of trends".
