Barclay James Harvest

Barclay James Harvest, formed in 1966, was a British progressive rock band. Originating from brewery names, their unique title set the tone for their unconventional approach. Notable for blending rock, folk, and orchestral elements, hits like "Mockingbird" and "Hymn" showcased their melodic prowess. An iconic 1987 concert near the Berlin Wall highlighted their impact during politically charged times. Collaborations with symphony orchestras and performances on floating stages added to their distinct musical journey. Despite limited commercial radio play, Barclay James Harvest's genre-blurring sound earned them a dedicated following, securing their place as progressive rock pioneers.
