Camel has added more dates to their highly-anticipated return to live performance in October. They initially announced one concert, at London’s Barbican Arts Centre, on October 28, where they’d perform their third album The Snow Goose in full for the first time since 1975. Now they’ve listed a total of eight shows, five of them in the UK, all ahead of the London performance. And their website hints there could be more in the future. Andrew Latimer will be joined by Colin Bass, Denis Clement, Guy LeBlanc and Jan Schelhaas for the shows – their first since their farewell tour in 2003. The band previously explained of the now sold-out London appearance: “The evening pays tribute to former band member Peter Bardens, who died of cancer at the same time as frontman Latimer was battling a terminal illness. Ten years later, Latimer has regained health and is willing to celebrate a career that spans over four decades. This two-set show will also embrace compositions recorded throughout those years in a personal covenant of appreciation for a deeply rewarding life of music.”
Meanwhile, the band have addressed fan inquiries as to the possibility of a new album. They explain: “It’s somewhere in the making. When you spend two full years trying to anticipate – and outwit – the worst scenario possible, it takes a rather insidious toll. When the storm passes, it’s an involuntary reflex to get right back to business. We wanted to get Camel back on the road, write a new album, record a new DVD; just get on with it in general.”
