Caravan are an English band
from the Canterbury area, founded by former Wilde Flowers members David
Sinclair, Richard Sinclair, Pye Hastings and Richard Coughlan. Caravan
rose to success over a period of several years from 1968 onwards into
the 1970s as part of the Canterbury scene,
blending psychedelic rock and jazz to create a distinctive sound like
their contemporaries Soft Machine. Caravan still remains active as a
live band in the 21st century.
