The great saxphonist Lol Coxhill is currently very ill in hospital, we heard from mutual friend Lu Edmonds this weekend. Lu is hoping to organise a benefit soon to raise money for Lol's family so they can more easily visit every day to get him out and about, and also with whatever is needed to aid his recovery. When I have more info I will post it here. In the meantime if you would like to help in any way, get in touch and I will pass your details on to Lu, who is in rehearsal with PiL right now. Already had very generous offer of help from Stew Lee, noted avant garde music lover...
I don't know Lol personally, but many friends over the years did. When I worked at Helter Skelter music bookstore Lol came in one day, and before I served him, my manager Michael O'Connell was whispering 'do you know who that is?' with a certain amount of awe.
