“Caravan were changing… I’d written For Girls Who Grow Plump In The Night and intended to record it under my own name”: Pye Hastings planned his solo debut 44 years before it happened

A portrait of Pye Hastings.

Pye Hastings has never been a peripatetic musician. He’s spent his entire career with just one band, Caravan. But in 2017 – at the youthful age of 70 – he branched out and released his debut solo album From The Half House, leading Prog to wonder if it was the start of a new phase of the Canterbury veteran’s career.
