Biography
Robert John Godfrey is a British composer, pianist and founding member of The Enid. From 1968 to 1971 Godfrey became resident musical director with Barclay James Harvest,making musical contributions to early recordings which established their full, orchestral style of rock music. The relationship fell apart and accounts differ as to why. For a short time after this, Godfrey played in the band Siddartha.In 1974 the Charisma Records label released his first solo work, Fall of Hyperion. Although not a commercial success at the time, this work has since become collectable.
