Bram Stoker are a Progressive Rock band located in the South of England. The band was formed in 1969 by Hammond organist Anthony Bronsdon, guitarist Peter Ballam and drummer Rob Haines who then recruited bass guitarist John Bavin, all of whom were based in their south coast home town of Bournemouth, England. They enjoyed a wonderful period of interest in the music industry during the period from 1969 through to 1972, and this is shown in the wake of their original release, Heavy Rock Spectacular, in 1972. The line up, formed in 2016, still featured Anthony Bronsdon along with guitarist Neil Richardson and husband & wife rhythm section, Warren Marks on drums and Jo Marks on bass and vocals who together released the 'No Reflection' album in 2019. The previous line up, responsible for the 'Cold Reading' album included Bronsdon, Tony Lowe on guitar and bass and Will Hack on drums and vocals. The current lineup now includes bass player and vocalist Barry Lines and drummer Stephen Underhill joining Neil and Tony.
BRAM STOKER were, for me, the biggest most marvellous surprise of the whole festival ...Rosamund Tomlins - The Progressive Aspect

The Book of Revelations
The Book of Revelations offer an intoxicating combination of Rock, Orchestral and Folk music with its lyricism, poetry and grandiloquence, convoluted with complex rhythms and quirky time signatures plus lyrical themes from Greek mythology told with a 21st Century perspective.
The Book of Revelations is the musical vehicle for the multi-instrumentalist and composer, Gerard Freeman, who owes a debt of gratitude to the greatest proponents of Progressive Rock, namely GENESIS. With this magnificent influence and musical education in mind, The Book of Revelations have crafted works of rich texture, complexity and humour and they are proud to follow humbly in the wake of their mighty forebears.
The Book of Revelations released their first EP, The Prologue at the start of 2022, with the first album, The Plumes of Enceladus, in April, 2023. The second EP, The Epigraph, came out in Aug 2024, and a second album, Olympus Mons, in May 2025. A third EP and third album will be released in the second half of 2026.
