About

Progressive rock band. Formed in London, England in late 1969. Rare Bird was originally formed around the principle of keyboard-dominated progressive rock, shunning the use of guitars.

Their eponymous debut album achieved critical success. Releasing five albums in total, those albums never achieved commercial success, although the single Sympathy sold over a million globally, topping charts in France and Italy. They dissolved in early 1975, victims of a lack of recognition in their own country.

Mark Ashton - Drums.
