Interior Fitter by Richard Sinclair

During the late '80s & early '90s Richard picked up living money by remodeling residential kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms. He said MOST of his clients knew who he was, from word-of-mouth referrals... but not all(!) Would you like your interior fitted?

Advert placed in the Kentish Gazette for a few months in 1989.

"During that period, Sinclair was not earning his living playing music : "I followed in my father's footsteps. He was a carpenter in Canterbury and a musician at night. So I made tables and stuff, having the same sort of skills".
-Aymeric Leroy, Calyx

"No photos. Many stories. That's my fathers’ telephone number. Will eventually get to these stories when not too busy working on new music. Will be putting together a complete photographic history of my Canterbury Sinclair family history."
- Richard Sinclair, private correspondence

The leading voice of the Canterbury Scene. Beginning with the Wilde Flowers, on to Caravan, Hatfield & the North, Camel and all his recent group efforts, Richard Sinclair's singing and bass playing have been a constant source of delight for lovers of Canterbury music. A deep, low voice, a talent for memorable melodies few can match, plus an imaginative and fluid technique on the bass and guitar.
