Pendragon

Formed in 1978, Pendragon spearheaded the English progressive rock revival. After a long break-in period, the London-based band, led by Nick Barrett, took to the studio and the stage, their preferred domain, for a series of extensive tours. Heading up their own Toff Records label since 1991, Pendragon released The Masquerade Overture in 1996 and Pure in 2009, followed by the live CD/DVD Concerto Maximo. The quartet's ninth effort, Passion, will be released in spring 2011.
