VIVID GLIMPSE

Vivid Glimpse biography
Brothers Andy and Richard Vellacott have always been passionate about progressive rock music. Richard recalls " we always loved listening to bands like Genesis and Yes and would save all our pocket money to buy every CD we could find!" Although these days he is more often found behind a bank of keyboards and pedals, Richard, born in 1974, is a classically trained pianist who started playing at the age of six. For his part, Andy, 18 months younger than Richard, has played the drums for as long as he can remember and is a regular session and live musician.

In 2009, the brothers formed their own progressive rock band, Vivid Glimpse and soon found they had written enough material for an album. Richard explains "It really crept up on us ,we didn't have any grand plan, we just really enjoyed writing and playing together. But then it struck us that we had written some really great tracks and we wanted people to hear them." And so was born their debut album -Into the precipice.

"Into the precipice..." features Andy Vellacot on lead vocals, drums and percussion and Richard Vellacot on synths, pianos and backing vocals. The album contains eight original tracks from lyrical ballads such as "Deep inside my heart" and dramatic songs like "Undermined" to powerful instrumentals in the title track and "Broken mirrors".
