“Had we started a little earlier we might have survived. Yes and Genesis got through punk, but we hadn’t gotten to that point”: Gryphon, the unique band who forgot about themselves – until the world reminded them

Gryphon.

Gryphon entered one of their busiest periods five decades ago this year. The release of not just Midnight Mushrumps but also Red Queen To Gryphon Three found them reaching a bigger audience than before, aided by a North American tour with Yes. Founding members Brian Gulland, Graeme Taylor and Dave Oberlé recall those early years, and explain why they continue to champion their unique blend of medieval, classical and prog to a highly appreciative audience.
