Druid was an English progressive rock band active during the 1970s. The group first gained public attention after winning the Melody Maker Rock and Folk Talent Contest in 1974, which led to a recording contract with EMI. They released two studio albums: Toward the Sun (1975) and Fluid Druid (1976). The band also appeared on The Old Grey Whistle Test on 7 October 1975, performing the tracks “Voices” and “Theme.” Their sound showed clear influences from leading progressive rock acts of the era, particularly Yes and Genesis. Druid disbanded in 1977 while working on a planned third album titled Newfoundland, which was ultimately abandoned. After the breakup, members Neil Brewer and Dane Stevens formed The Never Never Band, adopting a more post‑punk‑oriented style. This group later split into two short‑lived projects, The Vetos and Splash, before dissolving in 1981. Former drummer Cedric Sharpley went on to perform with Gary Numan, contributing to both Dramatis and Tubeway Army, and remained active in Numan’s circle until his death from a heart attack on 13 March 2012. Keyboardist Andrew McCrorie‑Shand later established a successful career composing music for Ragdoll Productions, most notably for long‑running children’s television series such as Rosie and Jim. Bassist Neil Brewer also became associated with the show, serving as its third and final presenter from 1997 to 2000.
