Biography
(1975 – present)
Current Line-up:
Robert John Godfrey - Keyboards
Jason Ducker - Guitar
Max Read - Vocals/Guitar/Keyboards
Dave Storey - Drums
Nic Willes - Bass/Percussion/Guitar
Joe Payne - Vocals’Keyboards
The Enid’s membership has undergone several changes, always with Godfrey firmly at the helm, and its creativity seems to come in fits and starts. Godfrey has diabetes, and has also described bouts of depression associated with periods of writer’s block.
Godfrey also has a tendency to dismiss some of his ideas, such as a brief flirtation with dance music in the early 1990s, as juvenile or misguided, a view that is not always shared by the band’s fans. Now more than 30 years old, the band is still recording sporadically and recently released a brand new album, Journey’s End.
The Enid began recording at about the same time as punk rock burst upon the scene. Godfrey has said that he always regarded The Enid’s ironic takes on classical music as being just as anarchic as anything by the Sex Pistols, but this did not translate into either musical or commercial recognition, despite their work being played frequently by Tommy Vance on BBC Radio One’s Friday Rock Show. In 1981, the band played most of the music for Kim Wilde’s self-titled debut album.
