Mind on the Run The Basil Kirchin Story

Born in Blackpool in 1927 but lived much of his life in Hull, Basil Kirchin was a maverick musician and a pioneering composer who is credited as a founding father of ambient music.

Kirchin’s intriguing history represents a collision of popular and experimental musical cultures that predate and define much of the music we hear today.
