The Enid are the only band on the planet to have successfully fused rock-based music with the power, dynamics and scale of symphonic classical music. They are the absolute masters of their art and their achievements over more than twenty years of creative work set them apart from everything else which calls itself progressive. (The Guardian)

There's a blast from the past! I remember seeing The Enid at the Octagon round about the mid 1980s when I was going through a bit of a prog rock phase and recall them being excellent and quirky, in particular Robert John Godfrey interspersing the songs with anecdotes and monologues that seemed to go on for ages.

As I understand it this is a new version of the band with Godfrey as the only original member but I hope they pull a good crowd tonight anyway.
