This just in from Stuart:

Good news! We are playing in Quebec on Sat 31st May at a concert organised by Michel Bilodeau. It sounds like a lovely place. Here's the link for all the details.

We are also playing the final Festival of Tiana near Barcelona in Spain on the 24th May. Not sure on the details but will look for the website. Twelfth Night are headlining so it should be good as they were one of my fave of the 80’s prog bands and of course we covered 'The Ceiling Speaks' and recorded it for the Geoff Mann tribute album.

22 January 2008
January has been a busy month for the guys in Galahad! They won the Classic Rock Society 2007 Album of the Year for Empires, and bassist Lee Abraham released a pop album. See the News section for more details.

On Sunday, 21 October, Bill Murphy will conduct an exclusive, in-depth interview with Galahad frontman Stu Nicholson to be transcribed and posted either here on Galahadonline or on Bill's PurpleCrayon Direct web site. Be prepared! Everything you've ever wanted to know about Stuart Nicholson and the legendary progressive rock band Galahad will be revealed in mere days!
