Kevin Ayers Band CULT musician Kevin Ayers makes a rare UK appearance when he plays The Brook in Southampton on Sat October 26. Once a member of the improvisational underground rock band The Soft Machine, Kevin is one of music scene's most uncompromising characters.Born in 1944 in Herne Bay, Kent, Kevin spent most of his childhood in Malaysia where his father serfved as a District Officer. When they returned to England Ayers became a central figure in the Canterbury music scene, forming The Wilde Flowers, and later The Soft Machine where he played bass guitar alongside Daevid Allen, later of Gong, and Andy Summers, eventually to find fame in The Police.Ayers quit The Soft Macine in 1968 after a gruelling tour of the USA. He released a solo album "Joy Of A Toy" which set a pattern for his later work with a series of self-written haunting and languid ballads including "The Lady Rachel" and "Girl On A Swing". In 1970 Ayers formed The Whole World, with saxophonist Lol Coxhill, guitarist Mike Oldfield and pianist/arranger David Bedford, releasing an album "Shooting At The Moon", an ambitious progressive rock effort, and "Whatevershebringswesing".Following the demise of The Whole World, Kevin resumed his solo career, establishing a quirky eccentric style which has earnt him the sobriquet "the Noel Coward of Rock", and releasing albums like "Bananamour" in 1974. He also collaborated with Steve Hillage, John Cale, Brian Eno and Andy Summers on "Confessions of Dr Dream" in the same year.Moving to the island of Ibiza early in his career, Ayers has spent the majority of his time there, only making occasional concert appearances in the USA and Europe, and releasing an album every few years. Never one to take much interest in the business side of things, Kevin does what he wants when he wants, which should make for a fascinating gig at The Brook. Advance tickets are £10 through (023) 8055 5366.Preview by Peter Ashton

Derrin Nauendorf and The Hard GroundDerrin Nauendorf and The Hard Ground. This globally recognised acoustic roots sensation stormed The Brook in April last year, opening for Roger Chapman. By special invitation, and for one night only, Derrin Nauendorf has put an all-star band together. In addition to featuring songs from the Natural CD, the current and highly–acclaimed Live at The Boardwalk CD, Derrin and the band will preview many new songs from his next album which is out this month. Derrin Nauendorf and fellow Aussie, percussionist David Downing, have been making a big impact all over the UK with their unique and dynamic acoustic performances. Comparisons to the likes of David Gray and Paul Weller mean Derrin is hotly tipped for stardom. Widely recognised for his explosive acoustic guitar style and evocative song writing, Derrin will also pick up his electric guitar during the show allowing Derrin to display the talent he showed in winning the 'AussieRock' Band of The Year contest - competing against 120 bands from all over Australia. This will be a VERY special evening."If you only see one gig this year……"

Landmarq
Since it's formation in 1990, UK-based Landmarq have so far released six CD albums, two of which have been recorded live at various concerts in the UK and Europe. Initially signing to a Dutch record company then forming their own label, Synergy Records, the band have firmly established themselves within the world of Progressive-rock, though their style may also extend into AOR, Melodic Rock, Hard Rock and even a slightly jazzier edge. Landmarq have never actually pigeon-holed themselves, preferring to let the listener make up their own mind. Whatever 'label' is placed upon the band, Landmarq do have a philosophy of their own regarding their music. That is simply to make MORE music - that is:Melodic, Original, Rhythmic, Emotional.T o date, Landmarq have played concerts/gigs in the UK, Holland, Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, the USA and Mexico; both as support and as headliners at various rock festivals and major venues including The Astoria (London), The Marquee (London); Tivoli Theatre, (Holland); Teatro del Estado (Mexico) and others. Concerts have also seen the band working with many well-known rock artists including Marillion, John Wetton (Asia, King Crimson, Roxy Music, etc.), Steve Hackett (Genesis), Nik Turner (Hawkwind), IQ, The Cardiacs, Porcupine Tree and even Suzi Quatro plus many others. Invitations have also been received for Landmarq to play in Scandinavia and South America which the band are looking into. Individually, the band members have had a far wider range of music experiences within the worlds of Pop/rock, Soul/funk, Country, Jazz and more.
