Giles Farnaby's Dream Band

Giles Farnaby's Dream Band was a collaboration between the early music ensemble St. George’s Canzona, Derby-based folk group The Druids, and Trevor Crozier’s 'Broken Consort'.

They were backed by three jazz musicians: Jeff Clyne (bass guitar), Dave MacRae (electric piano) and Trevor Tomkins (drums).

The album largely consists of renaissance dance tunes played on a combination of early and modern instruments.

This prefigures some of the work later undertaken by the Albion Band and Home Service.

It is most similar in its sound to medieval folk and progressive rock bands like Gryphon and Gentle Giant.
