John Lees' Barclay James Harvest
Saturday 31 October at 8pm Following a successful UK tour in 2006 the Barclay James Harvest story continues. Founder Barclay James Harvest members John Lees (vocals, guitar) and Stuart 'Woolly' Wolstenholme (vocals, keyboards, mellotron, guitar) return to the concert stage with a five piece band to perform a set drawn from the long career of BJH and such classic albums as 'Once Again', 'Everyone is Everybody Else', 'Time Honoured Ghosts', 'Octoberon', 'Gone to Earth' and 'XII'. Barclay James Harvest was formed in Oldham when John Lees and Woolly Wolstenholme teamed up with Les Holroyd and Mel Pritchard. The band became one of the first signings to the legendary Harvest label. From the very beginning, BJH had experimented with musical ideas, going beyond the traditional guitar, bass and drums format to utilise a Mellotron to simulate the sound of an orchestra. Although the band had success in the UK, 1977's 'Gone to Earth' heralded the beginning of major success in Germany, where the album eventually went platinum. 2006 saw the band return with a highly successful UK tour, the show at London's Shepherds Bush Empire was recorded for CD and DVD and released as 'Legacy'. With Lees and Wolstenholme currently working on new material, 2009 is a welcome return to prominence for Barclay James Harvest. Ticket Information
