I remember seeing them some years ago at the Marquee (another farewell
concert, 2 nights entitled In The Region Of Summer Stars) which was
memorable for the fact that for an encore some little punk oadie played
the drums while they did an excellent version of Anarchy In The UK. The
Stand website shows that they are quite, er, pompous though, although I
never knew that Robert Godfrey had anything to do with Barclay James
Harvest.

Cheers,

Seb

Godfrey and Stewart find themselves working with a wide range of
artists, from Terry Hall and Katrina and the Waves, to New Model Army,
Christian Death and Conflict. Their reputation and influence has
permeated some unexpected areas of modern music. Conflict say on the
sleeve notes of their album The Final Conflict: "We would like to pay
tribute to The Enid for the inspiration of their life and work."
