Bio
Formed in 1978 by Chris and Paul McMahon, Haze were one of the founders of the neo-progressive revival of the early 1980s.
Although part of the 1980s "progressive" revival, Haze were always much more than just another Yes/Genesis clone, moving with ease across the spectrum from rock to funk, pop to progressive in their own distinctive style.
The band split up in 1988 but reformed for a 20th anniversary concert in Sheffield in 1998.
Their last 80s album "Stoat & Bottle" has just bee...

“'in that branch of the lake'
This time it’s Italian tour promoter Daniele Castracane who’s done the business, with a recording of the band’s April 2010 show from Lecco on Lake Como.
The band - augmented for about half the set by Treebeard’s Ceri Ashton on flute - is on top form. ‘The Vice’, in particular, is a blisteringly visceral performance and ‘Seven Stones’, with Ashton’s contribution drawing it closer than usual to ye olde Cellar Tapes original, is really rather special. There are, encouragingly, enough new tracks to be well on the way to an album, with ‘The Last Battle’ being particularly strong.
While the filming is very good, though, sound quality leaves something to be desired, with the mid range rather ‘boomy‘, smudging some of the subtleties - and Haze’s music has always been about nuances.... this results in a disc that will be enjoyed by fans - and I'm one myself - but still isn’t the DVD we really want.”

I've entered a video from the Newark Beer Festival into the Irish Battle of the Bands 3.
The entry features Haze with Cat & Ceri Ashton joining us on stage (ie The Outlandish Knights!) playing a tune from the Treebeard set, so it's kind of all our bands rolled into one!
