The last few years have been turbulent for the music industry, with Brexit, Covid and the rise to dominance of streaming services shaking up the landscape. Having been a going concern since 1985, and remarkably consistent in their output, prog rockers Galahad have seen it all. They’re now back with a new album, The Long Goodbye, a companion record to 2022’s stirring The Last Great Adventurer.
“Enthusiasm,” says co-founding vocalist Stu Nicholson, when asked about his personal journey into the business, which started, appropriately enough, with hearing Genesis for the first time. “In the late 70s,” he recalls, “I remember very clearly being at a friend’s house and we and I heard the first words: ‘’ I just loved it. And I was hooked.”
