Band, GB
The Mighty Bard are a UK based band, singers and players of thoughtfully crafted songs – storytellers in the classic British melodic progressive rock tradition – from compelling and emotive tales such as ‘Blue God’, a story about power and control to delicate ballads like ‘Coward’ and the recent epic composition ‘The Black Train’. Formed in 2004 by guitarist Dave Clarke and ex-Silmarillion keyboardist Neil Cockle, the band has evolved into the 6-piece unit it is today. Current line-up: Mark ‘Cad’ Cadman (bass), Dave Clarke (guitar & vocals), Neil Cockle (keyboards), Andy Dovey (drums), Mark Parker (electric violins & vocals) and Gavin Webb (lead vocals). The release of the new album ‘Blue God and Other Stories’ is followed by an UK Tour in October, the band is recording the next album, which is due out in 2016.
