Camel Over The Moon
Chris Welch, Melody Maker, 10 April 1976
WHEN CAMEL became the MM's Brightest Hope in last year's Poll, it caused organist Peter Bardens a wry smile because he had become "an overnight success after ten years." Now another member of Camel, who has been working just as hard, for almost as long, is at last being recognised as one of the most original guitar players to emerge in a long while.
