Peter Fluck in his obituary for Ken in
the Guardian says "I met Ken at Cambridge
School of Art in the mid-1950s, where we studied under Paul
Hogarth, among others, and with my future Spitting Image
partner Roger Law and John Holder, now a well-known
illustrator. John says that "while we were messing about
with guitars, Ken was a cool jazz drummer"."
