Barclay James Harvest is a British rock band specialising in Symphonic / Melodic Rock with folk/progressive/classical influences.
The band was founded in Saddleworth, a civil parish now in the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, in September 1966 by John Lees, Les Holroyd, Stuart “Woolly” Wolstenholme, and Mel Pritchard (1948-2004).
The band released a single “Breathless”/”When the City Sleeps” under the pseudonym of “Bombadil” in 1972. “Breathless”, an instrumental, was credited to “Terry Bull” (actually John Lees). The B side “When the City Sleeps” was credited to “Lester Forest” (actually Woolly Wolstenholme), who also played every instrument and sang. This obscure track made an appearance on the soundtrack in the 2007 series Life on Mars, although it was not featured on the CD release.
