Morgan Fisher Vodcast Series - Seven On Sunday

KCL are delighted to announce a forthcoming series of interviews with Morgan Fisher, ace musician, artist, and photographer.

Over the next seven weeks, we’ll be hearing about how (as a school kid!) he scored a number one U.K. hit, in 1968, as keyboardist for The Love Affair with "Everlasting Love", his time spent as the pianist for Mott the Hoople, later playing with Mott and British Lions (with John Fiddler, ex-Medicine Head) establishing his own independent label, Pipe Records, touring with Queen and working with many artists including The Dead Kennedys, Jayne County, Cherry Vanilla, and Yoko Ono.

Morgan, now living in Tokyo, still regularly plays sessions and has recently worked with The Handcuffs and Keeley (links at foot of page).

The first episode focuses on the incredible Miniatures compilation series, Morgan’s original brainchild. Originally released, in 1980, on Cherry Red Records, the now legendary album comprised of 51, one-minute, ‘miniature’ recordings from artists including Robert Wyatt, The Residents, Dave Vanian and Andy Partridge, Robert Fripp, Quentin Crisp, Ivor Cutler, and many other music luminaries.

Morgan also wrote the sleeve notes for Miniatures, 2020, the third part of the Miniatures trilogy, featuring 124 tracks from artists as diverse as Toyah Wilcox, John Otway, Tom Robinson, Billy Bragg and members of Van der Graaf Generator, The Stranglers, The Blockheads and Adam and the Ants. Miniatures, 2020 is released on the 62nd Gramophone Company record label and is currently available from a number of outlets, including Rough Trade (see below).
