I've just learned through wikipedia that pioneering experimental musician and free improvising guitarist Derek Bailey passed away at his Spanish home during Xmas day. There doesn't seem to be anything about this on the mainstream media sites as yet but a number of Blogs are carrying the news.

My memory is playing tricks- this photo was actually taken at the old Vortex Club in Stoke Newington, not in Hackney as stated.
