Founded in London, THE ENID formed around founder/keyboardist Robert John GODFREY (BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST) and his fellow founding guitarists Stephen STEWART and Francis LICKERISH in 1973. In a combination of classical and rock, the band combines vast orchestral movements, exclusively classical instrumentation, rigorous construction, thoroughly well-written and romantic rock music led by composer Robert John GODFREY. Most of the albums have orchestral sounds, all created using standard guitars, basses, keyboards and drums. THE ENID are probably the TOP of the symphonic tradition.

The Time Out magazine described them as: “THE ORB MEETS PINK FLOYD MEETS THE BERLIN PHILHARMONIC”.

The only band in the world to have successfully fused rock music with the power, dynamics and scale of symphonic classical music. They are the absolute masters of their art and the results achieved in over twenty years of creative work distinguish them from everything that is defined as progressive.
