Following the success of their "Ravens and Lullabies" album and a one-off electric appearance at the Summers End Festival, Lydney in October 2013, Gordon and Oliver return for a short full-band tour in April 2014.

"Ravens" marks a return to electric music for legendary guitarist Gordon Giltrap whose 40 year career spans acoustic virtuosity and three crucial progressive rock albums in the 1970s, "Visionary", "Perilous Journey" and "Fear of the Dark".  His 1978 hit single "Heartsong" was used as the theme music for the BBC "Holiday" programme for many years.

Following a successful solo career, Oliver Wakeman went on to become a member of The Strawbs and then Yes, where he played in large venues all over the world.  Oliver and Gordon have been playing to sold out venues all over the country as a duo.

The rest of the band is something of a who's who of Progressive Rock, including Paul Manzi, currently singer in Arena, Johanne James and Steve Anderson, currently to be found as the rhythm section of Prog Metallers Threshold, and the brilliant Nick Kendall, fresh from "Rock of Ages" in the West End.

This short series of gigs are unlikely to be repeated so are not to be missed.


The Tithe Barn is on the Cheltenham Road Bishop's Cleeve at GL52 8LU. It's opposite the entrance to Stoke Road and the Rectory, Bovis Homes HQ, and next door to the King's Head pub.

There is plenty of parking at the Tithe Barn!

A bar run by the Trustees of the Tithe Barn is available. Interval drinks can be ordered. You can take your drinks into the auditorium with you.
