About this Quote

The quote by Kevin Ayers is referring to the special elements of the Canterbury scene, which was a musical movement in England throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s. Ayers is highlighting the truth that England is a country with a strong class system and a well-defined education system. He believes that what made the Canterbury scene so distinct was that it was a musical motion that was able to go beyond these borders and bring together individuals from all walks of life. The Canterbury scene was a melting pot of different musical styles, from jazz to progressive rock, and it was a location where artists could experiment and produce something new. Ayers believes that this was what made the Canterbury scene so special and distinct, and it is something that England should take pride in.
