DAGABAND: Test flight 7″ single 1980. Prog mixed with N.W.O.B.H.M. Check audio and a review video

Description Sean Piggott,  Greg Boynton (R.I.P) and Phil Boynton Neo-prog trio playing organ based ELP-esque prog mixed with N.W.O.B.H.M. A Chesterfield Progressive Rock trio formed in the mid 70s. A serious car crash involving all three members of the band at the time put DAGABANDs career on ice until a return to the live circuit supporting BUDGIE on their 1982 British tour. In the summer of 1983 guitarist Steve Fidler quit to form LAST CHAPTER, so one of the bands original members, Sean Piggott, found himself back into the fold. By mid 1984 frontman John Youdale had also bailed out, resulting in the recruitment of ex-TAMARISK guitarist Nick May who joined in early 1985. May had released a cassette album titled ‘Counterbalance’ in 1988. May later joined QUASAR, JADIS and THE ENID for their sundialer’ album. * ARTIST: Dagaband * 7″: Test Flight * YEAR: 1980 * GENRE: Heavy Metal / N.W.O.B.H.M. * COUNTRY: United Kingdom – England TRACKLIST: 01.
