Links To Peel Edit
Peel apparently first became aware of Coxhill when he saw the musician busking on London's South Bank in 1968. [1] After being signed to the DJ's Dandelion label, the saxophonist recorded both as a solo artist (releasing the double album Ear Of The Beholder) and as part of the Coxhill-Bedford Duo. With Bedford and guitarist Mike Oldfield, he was part of the Kevin Ayers Whole World band. Coxhill subsequently played on the 1977 Damned LP Music For Pleasure and recorded a Peel session with the Frank Chickens in the 1980s.
