Well, that’s a wrap then.

We had such a wonderful time at the ‘Empire of Prog’ festival in Ramstein at the weekend. It was a fabulous gig and the perfect way to conclude our recent run of shows in the last year or so celebrating our 40^th anniversary, although we are now well into our 41^st year, time really does march on! 

On behalf of all of us in Galahad I’d  like to thank all those who came along to show us support in England, Scotland, Belgium, The Netherlands, Poland and Germany who were so friendly and showed us so much love and enthusiasm for what we do. 

These shows really reminded us of why do what we this rock and roll thing and it warms out hearts so much to know that there are still so many people who want to see us and listen to Galahad music. 

It really does feel like one big happy family and does makes all the writing, recording, rehearsing and occasional long distance travelling all very worthwhile.

Although, we wouldn’t be doing this without the audiences I would also like to thank all those in the background who make these shows possible i.e. the promoters, show organisers and the sound and light tech crews, caterers, bar managers(!) etc. and finally the unsung heroes closer to home who contribute massively to putting everything into place i.e. Lee our ever-dependable driver and Lin our merchandise queen of thirty five years plus!

We will never take it all for granted and hopefully we will see you all again some time. 

Thank you, love and big hugs to all of you who make the effort to be a part of our world.

Galahad

We are very pleased to announce that, after having been unavailable for some time, our first proper studio album 'Nothing Is Written', originally released in 1991, has now been re-issued on CD for the first time in several years. 
This re-mastered version now includes two bonus tracks 'There Must Be A Way' and 'Don't Lose Control (2015)' which features Dean Baker on keyboards plus original keyboard player Mark Andrews on piano.

We have also reissued our 2017 album 'Seas of Change' which has also been unavailable on CD for a while now. These two albums have both been re-released in conjunction with our friends at Oskar Productions in Poland.

Plus, as we have been running low on a few titles recently but have now received top ups on CD of 'Other Crimes & Misdemeanours', 'Other Crimes & Misdemeanours II & III, 'Solidarity - Live in Konin', 'In A Moment of Complete Madness and 'Quiet Storms', all of which are now available again from our official website.

Well, here we are again, another journey around the sun almost complete, so we’d just like to thank everybody who has helped and supported us during this very busy year by attending our special 40^th anniversary shows, buying our music and also those lovely tour T-shirts courtesy of the very talented Paul Tippett or even just by saying a few kind words about us which always helps to quietly spread the word. 

In fact, as we enjoyed them so much we’ve decided to play a few more shows next year, at venues that we didn’t manage to get to this year, in order to keep the celebrations going for just a little longer. So hopefully we’ll see you (some of you again perhaps?) at our ‘Fortysomething’ tour dates in 2026.

However, in the meantime we’d just like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, healthy and peaceful (!) New Year.

We are incredibly proud and pleased to announce, fifteen years to the day, the release of ‘Alive at Loreley’ which was recorded on Friday 3^rd Sept  2010 in Germany at the ‘Night of the Prog V’ festival at the beautiful Loreley venue. 

Although we didn’t know it at the time, this would also be the last show that Neil Pepper ever performed on stage with Galahad as he was suffering from advanced Oesophageal cancer and very sadly passed away almost exactly a year later on 2^nd September 2011 which makes this release even more poignant.

We feel that this album is a fitting tribute to Neil, to whom it is dedicated, and who will always be a massive and integral part of Galahad and its history.

‘Alive in Loreley’ is available NOW to purchase on CD directly from our official  band website. It will be available to purchase from other digital streaming platforms from the beginning of November 2025. 

We also hope to release the album as a 180g double LP at some point in the near future.

We are pleased to announce that we will be playing a rare ‘home’ show in the intimate surrounding of the Sherling Studio at the Lighthouse in Poole on Thursday 25^th September, albeit a mainly acoustic Galahad ‘Stripped’ performance showing a more restrained and mellow aspect of the band featuring Stu, Dean and Lee. 

There will also be two other acts performing (Traffic Cone Wizard and Lucymuses) with us being the last to go on. It should be a fun show if a little different. It’d be great to see you there. Tickets are only £13 from the Lighthouse box office. Live and Unheard September 2025 - Lighthouse

Just a quick reminder to say that our UK 40th anniversary show will be taking place on Saturday 21st June at the 1865 in Southampton from 4.30pm onwards. 

The show also include several very special guests:  'League of Lights’ featuring Richard West from Threshold, ‘Tiger Moth Tales’ solo featuring the incredibly talented and somewhat ubiquitous Peter Jones followed by a short set with both Peter and Lee (Peters & Lee!) plus, finally,  ourselves of course performing a longer set than normal featuring music and songs from across the years as well as the odd special Galahad guest joining us on stage. 

It would be great to see you there for what promises to be a veritable feast of prog rock and roll. :-)

We are very pleased to announce that after a considerable time out of press our 2012 ‘Beyond the Realms of Euphoria’ album has now finally been re-released on CD in conjunction with our friends at Oskar Records in Poland. 

This remastered and expanded edition contains three additional bonus tracks including the piano and vocal version of Guardian Angel plus two brand new re-mixes of Secret Kingdoms (Parallel Universe mix) and Salvation II (Beating Heart Mix).

The CD is now available to purchase directly from our official website www.galahadonline.com or from Oskar Records at Independent Music Market and will also be available to purchase at our up and coming 40^th anniversary live shows in Europe and the UK as will our recent CD reissue of Empires Never Last which includes the ‘orchestral’ version of the title track on CD for the very first time.

As part of our series of Summer shows to celebrate our 40th anniversary we will finish off at the Nene Valley Rock Festival on Saturday 6th September. It would be great to see a few of you there to support us as well as the festival. :-) 

Not long to go now……
