Good story. They were great gas when I saw them in 76 - really different sound and the classical touches were a foreign country to us 17 year olds. Also, very funny intros and a terrific drummer.That sounds exactly like Ted! Hard to believe that you've actually mentioned The Enid! It was only recently that I renewed my fondness for that most eccentric of bands. Needless to say I went Enid crazy when I heard their classically infused music for the first time all those years ago. I ended up buying up all their original albums on vinyl up to and including The Seed and the Sower. When I discovered that they were redoing the original albums I had no hesitation in buying them too! I remember being on the fan list and getting a cassette with my name on it (Intro. to the Enid),narrated by Robert plus a lovely typed message from the man himself. Then for years I could not get that Enid mojo working again and abandoned them to obscurity :( Thankfully all that has changed recently and now I'm an Enid lover again! It was fascinating in comparing the multiple versions of Fand, live and otherwise again. Flames of Power from Salomé moved me like it used to, a song I had completely forgotten about! Finally just out of curiosity I typed Robert John Godfrey into Google and I couldn't believe that he was still going strong despite being diagnosed with diabetes recently and as enthusiastic as ever with a new solo/band album out plus loads of Enid related stuff! So even though I've posted the links below I'm not sure I'm all that interested in their current music. We'll see, I might be pleasantly surprised.....
I have their first album, on vinyl, which I bought at the show. Will give it a listen this week.
Regards Mark.
