BRITISH prog rock pioneers Curved Air will be surfing a psychedelic wave into Kendal’s Brewery Arts Centre on Friday for a night of classic sounds from the 70s.

Curved Air originally formed in 1969, a ground-breaking progressive art-rock band known for a unique and powerful combination of a remarkable female vocalist and virtuoso musicians.

Reformed in 2008 after a sabbatical of 18 years, Curved Air’s concert and festival appearances in the UK, Japan, Italy, Malta, Germany, Portugal, Holland and Belgium continue to thrill a steadily increasing mass of new and old fans. Their experimental blends of classical themes, electronic sounds and pop/rock energy and beautiful, timeless songs are performed with fire and passion and tremendous musicianship.

The band, is still fronted by Sonja Kristina, who topped the British Music Female Vocalist polls throughout the ’70s. She has been the constant flame, leading Curved Air through the decades.

Curved Air is vocalist Sonja Kristina, original Curved Air drummer Florian Pilkington Miksa, guitarist Kit Morgan, Yehudi Menhuin-schooled violinist Paul Sax, bass player Chris Harris and keyboard player Robert Norton.
