The Enid were formed in 1974 by Robert John Godfrey, with guitarists Steve Stewart and Francis Lickerish. They developed a progressive, symphonic rock sound that would make E.L.P., Genesis or Yes sound like the Sex Pistols in comparison. Through the mid seventies they toured and played the Reading Festival on a number of occasions, in 1976 getting six encores.

By the end of the eighties things were changing and there were numerous changes in line-up, various albums, but Godfrey remained and the band play on. In 2015 he announced his impending retirement, handing the reins over to the new, younger members to take the band forward.and with Joe Payne on vocals things looked promising. However by late 2016 things had changed again with only three core member remaining, Jason Ducker (guitar), Zachary Bullock (keys) and Dominic Tofield (percussion and bass).
