Airbridge is a British progressive rock band, based in Norwich, East Anglia. Initially active during the 1980s, the band spent a long period dormant but creative during the 1990s. Various attempts were made to revive Airbridge in the late 2000s before the band settled on a new 3-piece lineup and finally released new material in 2013. Various Airbridge members have gone on to play in LaHost, Henry Fool and the live lineup of No-Man. ==Initial career (1980-1983)== The initial lineup consisted of Lorenzo Bedini (guitar, keyboard, vocals), Edward Percival (guitar, keyboard, vocals), Sean Godfrey (bass, vocals) and David Beckett (drums). The band toured many of the same venues as groups such as Marillion and Pallas, including several supports and headliners at the Marquee. Bedini's songs featured a strong Barclay James Harvest influence, while Percival composed material in a more mainstream progressive vein with some pop influences. The band's debut album ''Paradise Moves'' was released in 1983, following which the band augmented their lineup by adding Stephen J Bennett on keyboards. The band's next release was the "Words & Pictures" single, which was chosen as a ''Desert Island Discs'' favourite by the author Malcolm Bradbury.〔(Malcolm Bradbury on ''Desert Island Discs'', 20 August 1983 )〕 In late 1983 Bedini and Bennett both left the band and were replaced by Geoff Chamberlain (guitars), The group recorded a second (unreleased) album, ''Beyond the Veil'', before breaking up at the end of 1983. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Airbridge (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
