Biography:In The Land of Grey and Pink 

Caravan was formed in Canterbury, England in 1968 by Pye Hastings (guitar/ vocals), Dave Sinclair (keyboards), Richard Sinclair (bass/vocals) 
and Richard Coughlan (drums). 
The four had previously played at various times with a local band, The Wilde Flowers, which also featured Kevin Ayers and future Soft Machine 
members Robert Wyatt and Hugh Hopper.

After a memorable concert at the Isle of Wight Festival in June 2005 Caravan placed their last concert in Germany on 19 June. 
Since then live plans have been shelved due to Richard Coughlan's ill health.

In 2010, Pye Hastings announced that the band had resumed activity in anticipation of a one-off concert recording at Metropolis Studios 
for ITV in December. 
New material was written for a debut performance and the band was joined by Mark Walker on drums and percussion. 
The gig was a resounding success marking another exciting era for the band. 
The gig was released in it's entirety on 2 disc DVD in May 2011 and a truncated version will broadcast on Sky / ITV as part of 
the Legends series of concerts sometime in the future.

To commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the legendary album 'In The Land of Grey and Pink', Universal released a deluxe box set in May 2011. 
The band followed with a well rehearsed almost complete Grey and Pink set at festivals across Europe and a small venue tour of the UK in October.
