Oh thatβs interesting. Mickey Simmonds played keyboards with Fish the other night - also he played with Camel. He co wrote with Fish they seemed quite close on stage. Thank you for that ππ€
If I remember correctly, they recruited Andy for their First American tour in '83, but a few gigs in, he had another breakdown, and then they were on the search again, only to find former @stevehacketthq.bsky.social drummer Ian Francesco Mosely, who has been there ever since.
Yes he joined in May, played a few European Festivals and then the US tour in August before being kicked out again. I was at Reading when he played with them - as a 6-piece band - but he's not in the programme, just Ian Mosely, so clearly had gone by then.
I am sure I have read somewhere that the early Marillion and Fish in particular were all Camel fans. Hence them getting Andy Ward in the band when he wasn't particularly well.
