Galahad biography
 GALAHAD formed in 1985 just for fun playing a mixture of covers (GENESIS, ZEPPELIN, RUSH, SABBATH, FOCUS, MARILLION etc.), in order to get gigs(!) and original material. 

Then, after mixing it with the slightly 'bigger boys' such a IQ, PENDRAGON and MAGNUM, GALAHAD decided take it more seriously, playing only original material resulting in the release of their first proper album in 1991, 'Nothing Is Written', which was self-financed, released independently but which sold several thousand copies. 

Over the years GALAHAD have gone on to play hundreds of shows all over the UK, Europe and America releasing eight studio albums, three rarity albums and numerous live albums/DVD's along the way as well as releasing albums by offshoot projects such as GALAHAD ELECTRIC COMPANY and the GALAHAD ACOUSTIC QUINTET.

The band have never been ones to rest on their laurels and have been constantly evolving over the years soaking up a number of different influences, always looking forwards.

Their last three studio albums 'EMPIRES NEVER LAST', 'BATTLE SCARS' and 'BEYOND THE REALMS OF EUPHORIA' have taken them towards a heavier, more muscular, guitar orientated direction combined with a liberal use of sequencers and more groove/dance orientated beats creating a unique modern sound whilst retaining very occasional nods to their 'Progressive' past.

2013 saw the band publish their official biography 'ONE FOR THE RECORD' accompanied by a DVD anthology containing rare footage of various performances over the years. The band also played a few very successful European dates as well as the renowned Baja Prog Festival in Mexico.

2014 sees the band releasing several EP's containing acoustic versions of several songs from 'EUPHORIA' and 'BATTLE SCARS' as well as re-workings of older songs whilst they will also be writing for their next studio album.
