Some Canterbury Tales


parte sesta - conclusioni & schede musicisti


Indice Articoli

pip.jpgLa nostra storia sulle tracce di Pip Pyle si ferma al 1978, ovvero all’uscita del secondo album dei National Health “Of Queues and Cures”. Ovviamente in quella data non finisce la carriera dei molti musicisti di cui abbiamo provato a parlare. Ad esempio Miller e Pyle hanno continuato a suonare insieme, in particolare in In Cahoots e Short Wave. Miller e Stewart hanno poi collaborato di nuovo nei primi due album solisti di Miller.
La carriera più curiosa è sta però quella di Dave Stewart che in coppia con la moglie Barbara Gaskin (ex-Spirogyra e Northlettes),  nel 1981 con il remake pop della canzone “It’s My Party” centra per 4 settimane il primo posto delle classifiche inglesi iniziando così una carriera di pop-star.
Il prog non paga, il pop si !!
