English progressive rock band formed in 1971. An important group in the
Canterbury scene, they have been releasing studio and live recordings
steadily, with considerable success, since their formation. Andrew
Latimer (guitar), Andy Ward (drums) and Doug Ferguson (bass) had been
playing as a trio called The Brew around the Guildford, Surrey area of
England. They recruited Peter Bardens (keyboards) and after an initial
gig to fulfill a Bardens commitment on 8 October 1971 in Belfast,
Northern Ireland under the name of Peter Bardens' On, they changed their
name to Camel. Their first gig was at Waltham Forest Technical College,
London supporting Wishbone Ash on 4 December.
