Profile Information
- Bio
- MANDALABAND is the third reincarnation of an extraordinary progressive rock band with a long history. The first and original album 'MANDALABAND' was released by Chrysalis in 1975 and created quite a stir with its bombastic 'Om Mani Padme Hum' – a four-movement work for rock band and choir, the lyrics of which form the basis of the Tibetan national anthem. These Tibetan lyrics were 'performed' by lead singer Dave Durant and the London Chorale, whilst the other members of the band were Vic Emerson (keyboards), Ashley Mulford (guitars), Tony Cresswell (drums) and John Stimpson (bass), with David Rohl as founder, writer and studio engineer for the band.
Chrysalis then asked David to write and produce a second Mandalaband album, making use of all the singers and fellow musicians he had befriended during his time as engineer and producer during the 70s. The result was 'THE EYE OF WENDOR' – a concept album based on a Tolkienesque fantasy set in a world of warlocks, witches, battling heroes, and a magical gemstone of supernatural power. Vocalists on this album included: Justin Hayward, Eric Stewart, Maddy Prior, Graham Gouldman, Kevin Godley, Lol Creme, and Paul Young. Musicians included: Ritchie Close, David Rohl and Woolly Wolstenholme on keys; Noel Redding, Les Holroyd, Graham Gouldman on bass; Steve Broomhead and John Lees on guitars; Kim Turner and Mel Pritchard on drums & percussion; plus the Halle orchestra for all the classical bits. THE EYE OF WENDOR was released in 1978 and, over the years, has come to be recognised as one of the classic prog rock albums and the most complete concept album of its genre.
Thirty years later we have MANDALABAND re-launched onto the unsuspecting world – a brotherhood of musicians (some ex-Mandalaband, some new) under the guiding influence of Producer David Rohl. Current members of the band include Ashley Mulford (lead guitar and lead vocals), Troy Donckley (Uilleann pipes and Celtic whistles), Marc Atkinson (lead vocals and acoustic guitar), David Rohl (lead vocals and keyboards), Woolly Wolstenholme (keyboards), Jose Manuel Medina (keyboards), Kim Turner (drums, percussion and mandolin), David Clements (bass guitar), Craig Fletcher (bass guitar), Barbara and Briony Macanas (backing vocals), Alison Carter (backing vocals), and Ed Unitsky (band artist).
This new Mandalaband released 'BC – ANCESTORS' in 2009 and has just released the follow-up 'AD – SANGREAL' in July 2011. The double CD ‘RESURRECTION’ (a completely re-mixed and re-mastered special edition of the two original 1970s albums) was released in November 2010.
