Hatfield and the North were a pioneering force within the Canterbury scene of British progressive rock, active between 1972 and 1975, with several reunions in subsequent years.
Known for their inventive approach to composition, they seamlessly blended jazz, rock, and avant-garde elements into a distinctive and influential sound. The band emerged from the musical lineage of Delivery, Gong, Matching Mole, Caravan, and Egg, with a lineup that included Pip Pyle (drums), Phil Miller (guitar), Richard Sinclair (bass and vocals), and Dave Stewart (organ, electric piano), formerly of Egg, completing the group’s most iconic formation.
Hatfield and the North released two critically acclaimed albums during their original run: Hatfield and the North (1974) and The Rotter’s Club (1975).
