  這篇文字乃是93年的時候發表在《成報》的「歌與樂」專欄的。現在的May Ip,未知人在何方?
 
  近年,香港一直都有一些誓不向商業主義低頭的獨立樂隊與歌手,他們寧願自掏腰包灌唱片,自己搞推廣、宣傳,也不向唱片公司求助,以保持自己的獨立。
 
  英文民歌手May Ip(葉其美)可以說是最新近的例子。她曾經是Cocos樂隊的主音歌手,並在百代旗下出過兩張唱片,然而,這一切都已是遙遠的回憶,現今她甚至根本不想提這段往事(抱歉還是提起了,只因覺得,沒有昨日的經歷,那來今日的思行!)事實上,May Ip這些年來在非主流音樂的圈子裡闖蕩,早就有一定的名氣,她以其醉心而又擅長的英文民歌成為這個圈裡的翹楚。
 
  May Ip常在藝穗會唱她全由自己創作的英文歌,深受一群外籍人士歡迎,剛過去的九三年七月至十月間,她還於歐洲的Folk Festival作巡迴演出嘉賓。

 

  最近May Ip更自資製作了她第一張個人專集《May Ip : My Mama’s Words》,在宣傳、推廣方面也是一腳踢,只找了一些朋友義務幫忙。

 

  一位訪問過May Ip的記者如此說:「May Ip十分堅信,透過媒介更多的曝光,只會使自己的原意被扭曲、變形(因為總要製造點偶像色彩來推銷),那麼縱使有更多買碟的樂迷,但他們的心態未必在尋求歌曲中的訊息──關懷和愛。」May Ip也如此對記者說:「不介意無法Plug歌上電台及席那裡的口水show!坦白說,我是完全不認同本地流行樂壇的……」此語讓我想到已故Beyond主音黃家駒的激憤之語:「香港只有娛樂圈沒有樂壇」,是多麼相似,畢竟May Ip亦曾經那「娛樂圈」之苦!

喺網上搵cocos嘅資料,同時搵到呢個網址同另一個網址。順便轉貼May Ip嘅近况過嚟: May Ip has never attempted to establish a solo career. After Cocos, she went back to her root: making the world a better place through music. She is still around. Now living in Ontario, Canada as a mother of 3 young children, she teaches guitar and occassionally performs with her husband, Gary Murphy. They go by the name Just Us. -- message from May
