Information About

Pendragon (band)




Pendragon is a British Progressive Rock band established in 1978 as '''Zeus Pendragon''' by Guitarist Nick Barrett. The ''Zeus'' was dropped before the band started recording. There were a few personnel changes in the early days, but since 1986 the lineup has remained stable, and the band is still active As Of 2006 . Their music is characterised by Barrett's virtuoso guitar playing and his highly emotional, if eccentric, vocal performances.
