The next Galahad show will be at the Christchurch Festival on Saturday 5th July. This will be the first full gig that Tim has played with the band since his farewell Galahad gig at the London Astoria back on 26th April 1992! Galahad will be on at 9pm sharp playinga  full 1 1/2 hour set.

It should be a great festival with, hopefully, something for everyone. Below is the official event poster.

Galahad are extremely pleased to announce that Tim Ashton, who played bass for the band in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, has returned to the fold. Tim played bass on ‘Nothing Is Written’, our first proper studio album which was released in 1991.

In 1992 we thought he was taking a 22 day break to tour Japan and the Far East, turns out we misheard and he actually meant 22 years! :-)

Tim is now back in dear old Blighty after his somewhat lengthy sojourn. His first show back with the band will be at the Christchurch Festival on Saturday 5th July 2014.

Therefore, we would also like to take this opportunity to thank Mark Spencer for his contribution to the band during the last couple of years or so and wish him well with all his other various projects and future endeavours.

 Long live Galahad, the journey continues…

Galahad will be making a  rare appearance in London at the Celebr8.3 Festival which is being held at Islington Assembly Hall on Saturday 31 May and Sunday 1 June.

A veritable plethora of 'Prog' related bands will be performing over the two day event. Other bands performing include Twelfth Night (featuring our very own Dean Baker on keyboards as well as Mark Spencer on vocal duties), The Tangent, Frost*, Cosmograf, The Fierce & the Dead, Anathema, Karmakanic, Thumpermonkey, Sanguine Hum plus acoustic sets from Matt Stevens, The Tangent etc..

Galahad themselves will be taking the stage at 2pm sharp on Sunday afternoon and will be playing for a  minimum of 75 minutes, so almost a full show. This is a rare chance to see the band live in the U.K never mind London and all support will be very much appreciated.

In addition, Galahad will also have copies of their up and coming 'Guardian Angel' EP exclusively available for purchase on CD ahead of it's official release on 30th June 2014.

Below is the cover art for the 'Guardian Angel' EP, which will be the second release from Galahad in 2014.

The release date has now been confirmed as Monday 30 June, although a limited number of copies will be available at the Celebr8.3 festival at the Islington Assembly Hall on Sunday 1 June when Galahad will be playing a  full set at 2pm in the afternoon.

The track listing will be: 

1. Guardian Angel (Piano version)
2. Guardian Angel (Hybrid)
3. Guardian Angel (Euphoria version)
4. Guardian Angel – Reprise (Euphoria version)
5. Beyond the Barbed Wire (Piano version)

Galahad feature prominently in the new March 2014 edition of PROG magazine which includes a positive and succinct review of our new 'Seize the Day' EP  (see below) plus, the track  '21st Century Painted Lady' appears on this month's cover mount CD.

Coincidentally, ex Galahad Bass player Lee Abraham also features in the magazine with a 2 page interview plus a track 'Closing the Door' from his new album 'Distant Days' is also included on the cover mount CD.

It looks like Dean and I will be doing a 'Galahad Stripped' Record Store Day 'tour' on Saturday 19th April!
Rose Red Records, Boscombe Royal Arcade first followed by a set at Square Records in Wimborne later in the afternoon! Timings to be confirmed so watch this space. Big thanks to both stores for inviting us along!

The Galahad  'Seize the Day' EP is now available to purchase from the Galahad Merchandise page both as a download and as a CD EP.

A brand new promotional video of the Galahad track 'Seize the Day' filmed at the 2 Days Prog Festival in Veruno, Italy in September 2013 to accompany the release of the 'Seize the Day' EP is also available to view HERE....Enjoy! ;-)

Following on from the release of two critically acclaimed full length albums in 2012 (Battle Scars and Beyond the Realms of Euphoria), Galahad are back again with ‘Seize the Day’, the first of several EP's which will be released during 2014. ‘Seize the Day’ has been edited, tweaked and re-mixed by the band and Karl Groom and makes a perfect single, in our opinion of course!

It will be available as a download from the band’s website as well as a limited edition CD EP which will also contain the full version.

‘21st Century Painted Lady’ is based upon ‘Painted Lady’ which was written and first recorded in the mid 1980’s but has been given a major overhaul and now includes a second verse which should have but didn’t appear on the original version!

‘Bug Eye’, originally from the 1998 album ‘Following Ghosts’ has also been re-worked and brought up to date for 2013. A live version of the original arrangement is also included on the EP.

‘Seize the Day’ should appeal to existing fans of the band as well as those who are intrigued and interested in the band but have yet to dip their toes in to the murky world of Galahad music.

Track listing: 1. Seize the Day (Single version) 2. Seize the Day (Album version) 3. 21st Century Painted Lady 4. 21st Century Painted Lady (Instrumental) 5. Bug Eye 2014 6. Bug Eye (Live)

Galahad are proud and very pleased to announce that they will play a show for GARF (Gothenburg Artrock Society) on Saturday 1 March at the Musikens Hus, Djurgardsatan 13, Gothenburg. This will be their first ever Swedish show and, as you can imagine, the band are looking forward to visiting Sweden. Other bands involved will be A.C.T who will be playing live their first live show in four years and Wonderland plus a local support. It should be a great evening of prog/rock. ;-)
