Druid - Toward The Sun (1975) [2015]

Druid were a 1970's progressive rock band founded in Berkhamsted (UK), active between 1971-77 initially as a trio, without keyboardist Andrew McCrorie-Shand. They entered the annual Melody Maker Rock and Folk talent contest in 1974 and won it. They were signed to the EMI label and Bob Harris produced their debut album, Towards the Sun. Much of their material bares resemblance to Yes and Genesis. On breaking up in 1977 aborting their third album, Newfoundland, founding members Dane Stevens and Neil Brewer would go on to form The Never Never Band in 1979. Meanwhile drummer Ced Sharpley would go on to drum for Gary Numan in Dramatis and Tubeway Army. Andrew McCrorie-Shand would later compose the theme music for the children's TV program Telutubbies.
