Origin England, United Kingdom
Genres Neo-progressive rock, progressive rock, progressive metal
Years active 1985–present
Galahad are an English progressive rock band formed in 1985. They have released 9 studio albums, 5 live albums and 3 rarities collections as well as a couple of offshoot project albums in the guise of the
Galahad Acoustic Quintet and the Galahad Electric Comapany. Over the last 30 years they have played with the likes of Pendragon, IQ and Twelfth Night. Galahad have performed their own shows and at
festivals in Europe and North America, and have sold tens of thousands of albums despite never having had a major record deal. All releases are on their own 'Avalon Records' imprint other than some
re-issues which are released in association with Polish label 'Oskar Productions'. In 2012 and after 27 years of existence Galahad released their first ever LP 'Battle Scars' in conjunction with
Ritual Echo Records, on high quality 180 gram vinyl, in a gatefold sleeve, as a limited edition pressing of 300 which is already fast becoming a collectors item.[1]
The band's vocalist Stuart Nicholson described Galahad's early days thus: "...the band was formed just after the so called second wave of ‘Prog’ bands such as Marillion, Pallas, IQ, Twelfth Night,
Pendragon etc. of Prog bands came to the fore in the early Eighties. They all started around 1978 – 1981 and we started in 1985 after the bubble had effectively burst, but didn’t really get going
seriously until 1990 onwards. To be honest we really did play just for fun in the early days and weren’t really that concerned about record deals etc. It was only after playing with some of the bigger
bands when we thought. Actually, we are just as good as these guys so why not give it a go..." [2]
