Nektar (German for nectar) is an English progressive rock band formed in Hamburg, West Germany, in 1969 by guitarist and lead vocalist Roye Albrighton, keyboardist Allan “Taff” Freeman, bassist Derek “Mo” Moore, and drummer Ron Howden. The band formed in Hamburg, West Germany, in 1969. The founding members were Englishmen Roye Albrighton on guitars and lead vocals, Allan “Taff” Freeman on keyboards, Derek “Mo” Moore on bass, Ron Howden on drums, and artists Mick Brockett and Keith Walters on lights and “special effects”. Though the concept of non‑performing band members was not unprecedented (e.g., lyricist Keith Reid in Procol Harum), it was unusual that a third of Nektar’s lineup had no role in performing or writing their music. Throughout their early existence, the band’s songwriting was credited to all six members on the album sleeves, but BMI records show that the music was written by the four performing members. Brockett did, however, co‑write the lyrics with Moore and invented or contributed to the original album titles.
