Pip

Pip Pyle, RIP

Earlier this week we received the sad news that Pip had passed away in his sleep on Monday 28 August. Many of course will know Pip as the drummer with Canterbury stalwarts Hatfield And The North (who he was instrumental in reforming only last year) along with Gong and National Health. Pip will be remembered for his creative and inventive drumming, which has kept him in demand
since the early 70s.
