    One of the countless musicians who have contributed to King Crimson over the decades. He had two spells - 1970-72 and 2013-2021.

    A brilliantly talented musician.

    I saw them in Nottingham in 2018, they were brilliant, Mel's flute was spine tingling.

    Yes. They played all the old classics from the 60s and 70s as well as a few later ones. I never saw them back in the 70s but the wait was worth it .

    I saw them at Sheffield City Hall 1970ish. Court of the Crimson King days. Can’t understand why I’ve never seen them live since but there’s always YouTube coverage
