Pendragon are an English neo-progressive rock band established in 1978 in Stroud, Gloucestershire. The band were active in the progressive rock revival spearheaded by the likes of Marillion, Pallas, Solstice (Prog) and Twelfth Night in the early 1980s, and indeed (like their peers IQ) often appeared as support acts to Marillion and other major neo-prog bands. After their debut album, The Jewel, the band pursued a more commercial direction, documented in the Kowtow album and the Red Shoes and Saved By You EPs, but despite these efforts failed to break through to a mainstream audience. After their 2001 effort, Not of this World their fortunes have improved, and whilst they are still relatively obscure in their home country they have a significant following in Europe; in particular, they have managed to develop a strong fanbase in Poland, and have both released at least one compilation specifically for the Polish market and recorded several live albums there. « hide
