This naturally progressed into the co-founding of Musics magazine in 1975. It became one of the most influential jazz publications in England, and instrumental for the formation of the London Musicians Collective.
Bailey's improv musician community grew in 1976 when he formed Company, to include like-minded improvisors, such as Anthony Braxton, Lol Coxhill, Fred Frith, Steve Lacy, Leo Smith, Han Bennink, Henry Kaiser and others who gave annual concerts.
Bailey once suggested to critic John Corbett that his music should just be called "free," so that the term would have four letters like "jazz" and "rock," but be neither. As Bailey said: "Four letter words are good for music, it seems to me, if you want to nail something onto it."
Derek & The Ruins live at the Purcell Rooms, South Bank, London, Apr 3 1997.
The Ruins are Sasaki Hisashi on bass and Yoshida Tatsuya on drums and voice. The above show was part of a broadcast on BBC Radio 3’s Mixing It programme.

Would you rather eat ten grasshoppers, or commit Seppuku? (disemboweling yourself)
LET US KNOW BELOW! And remember, revenge is a dish best served with marmite.

I'll take the grasshoppers. I could always deep fry them.

I have eaten and will eat baked grasshoppers with pleasure. Nomnomnom.

Chris is unstoppable ever since he found out about his marmite powers to terrorize the Japanese locals.
Mark Tighe-Crea
I will bet Marmite is the root cause of the decline of the UK.

I've heard about an Englishman rampaging through Japan, with his little round jar of blackish goo, even here in Croatia.
It's said that he is after becoming Japan's national Wizard, and chief advisor to the Emperor on all things magical and mystical . . . and just plain wierd and perverse.
