Paladin was a British progressive rock band that released two albums on the Bronze Records label. Band members included Peter Solley (organ, Leslie violin, grand piano), Keith Webb (drums, percussion), Peter Beckett (bass guitar, vocals), Derek Foley (lead guitar, slide guitar, vocals) and Lou Stonebridge (vocals, electric piano, harmonica). The band was founded in 1970 by classically trained multi‑instrumentalist Peter Solley and jazz drummer Keith Webb, both former members of Terry Reid’s band, who had served as the opening act for the Rolling Stones during their 1969 American tour. The remaining members were: Derek Foley (guitar, vocals), previously in Grisby Dyke, Lou Stonebridge (keyboards, vocals), formerly of Glass Menagerie and also lead singer of Grisby Dyke, Peter Beckett (bass, vocals), who had played with Liverpool‑based Winston G and the Wicked and later with the final lineup of World of Oz. Paladin performed extensively across the UK while developing their sound, blending rock, blues, soul, jazz and Latin influences. Their use of dual keyboards contributed to a distinctive musical identity. Their live reputation attracted the attention of Bronze Records (also home to Uriah Heep and Manfred Mann). On 8 January 1971, Paladin entered Olympic Studios in London to record their self‑titled debut album, produced by Philamore Lincoln. Although the album received positive reviews, commercial sales were limited.
