Still reeling from the sad loss of my friend Nik Turner. I’ve known Nik for nearly 50 years. He was one of a kind. An inspiring and warm hearted human being, always game for musical adventures. With his departure this world is a lesser place, as his Spirit rides free.
We recently discovered in the Gong archive a pristine tape of Nik’s flute, recorded in the King’s chamber in the Great Pyramid. It was wonderful to hear that pure and inspired sound again after all these years. I feel privileged to have joined with Nik at various stages on his musical and cosmic journey.

I recall a very very blurred night after a gig in London Nik giving me shortest walking directions from their hotel to the gaff where I was staying - sent me through gated mansion type roads on foot at 4 am after climbing over the gates. Nowadays I probably would have been shot
