Well, is there anything you would like to add here. Anything about the band you think other fans may be interested in. Any facts that perhaps are not well known, any rare recordings or guest appearance. In fact anything of interest about the band or its musicians past and present.

Send them to me using this e-mail link and I will only be too pleased to add them to this page, (following careful censoring of course).

Steve Negus from Saga, before "Stationary Traveller", was offered a gig to record with Camel, but it fell through at the last minute, at the time Carl Leighton Pope was the agent for both bands.

Steve says, "My main influence is Dave Garibaldi, drummer from Tower of Power, but I know I was influenced by a lot of drummers, John Bonham, Phil Collins etc."

Andy plays on a benefit album of 1985 called "Greenpeace - The album"? He plays on a duet by Chris Thompson with Hazel O'Connor called "push and shove" although he's not credited on the album.

The original version of "Eye of the storm" from "I can see your house from here" appears on the Happy the Man record "Better late...". This album was released long after the the Camel record although recorded before. It was a collection of demos wich was supposed to get them a record deal for the third official Happy the Man album which never saw the light of day.
