My thanks to Sean Hewitt for spotting this mistake about King Crimson's stick player celebrating his 70th birthday. Of course, TLev has a little way to go before blowing out that many candles.

Keeling's Eye View Of Crimson

08 September 2016

Composer Andrew Keeling was at Aylesbury on Monday this week and shared his impressions of the concert. The question is this: is it King Crimson who play the music; or, is the music which plays King Crimson? As I listened to The ConstruKction of Light on Monday evening in their concert at the Waterside Theatre I had a momentary and brief glimpse of the music standing outside and apart from the players themselves.

Who Put The Brass In CirKus?

16 March 2006

What have the tracks Devil’s Triangle Cirkus, and Sailor’s Tale got in common – apart from the obvious point that they’re all KC tracks. Well, they all use Mellotron brass and the man who supplied the brass samples was none other than George Chisholm, the Gentleman of Jazz Chisholm was a regular performer on light entertainment shows in the 50s and 60s, often doing solo comedy spots with his trusty trombone on shows like the Black and White Minstrel Show and it’s near cousin, The Billy Cotton Band Show.
