THE FAR MEADOW
Returning to The 1865 for their first co-headline in three years, The Far Meadow bring their own distinctive form of fusion-inspired symphonic progressive rock, already familiar to Solent Area Prog fans after several local appearances. Founder member and keyboardist Eliot Minn’s creative partnership with Keith Buckman (bass) and Denis Warren (guitar) began in 2011, after they joined to refresh a previous line-up of the band. They have since performed several headlines and festivals including A New Day Festival, Cambridge Rock Festival, Danfest, Fusion, HRH Prog, Prog the Forest, Prog for Peart, Resonance, and Summer’s End, drawing on their album releases Given the Impossible (2016) and Foreign Land (2019). 2026 sees the introduction of two new members. Bringing a new voice to the storytelling, singer songwriter LuLu Ash is an established solo artist with an array of atmospheric single releases and an album A Trick of the Light (2024). Behind the drums, Aidan Marsden’s percussion expertise and experience of diverse musical forms ranges across the classical repertoire, through accompanying singer-songwriters such as Gaja, to the black metal of Thing. Performing a good proportion of unreleased material, The Far Meadow will of course play some more familiar songs from their past releases
