A Bit About The Band
Curved Air's history goes right back to 1968 when drummer Florian Pilkington-Miksa
and Rob Martin met guitarist/keyboard player Francis Monkman and violinist Darryl
Way. Later that year they auditioned singer Sonja Kristina and Curved Air were born.
Many years, albums and line-up changes later Sonja and Florian carry the band forward
to both their old fans and a new audience, initially with Kit Morgan on guitar, then
replaced when former member Kirby Gregory rejoined. Violin virtuoso Paul Sax is now
a long-term replacement for Darryl Way, with Robert Norton on keyboards and Chris
Harris on bass. In 2016 Kirby Gregory decided to leave to spend more time working
with the Action On Addiction charity, with Kit Morgan returning. However he left again
to be replaced for a while by former Purson guitarist George Hudson before Kirby Gregory
returned. Meanwhile Florian Pilkington-Miksa retired to be replaced by Andy Tween
and Grzegorz Gadziomski took over on violin.
