The FAR MEADOW were founded as a five-piece rock combo in London by Eliot MINN (keyboards), Paul BRINGLOE (drums), Paul MALLATRATT (bass), Jon BARRY (guitars), and NOK (voices), all of whom had been active under the moniker of Blind Panic.

They say in their website; they'd played under the influence ranging from the classic rock and prog of the innovators (Yes, Genesis, Rush, Focus, Soft Machine, Deep Purple, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Plackband, et al) to the contemporary torchbearers who keep the music alive (Spock's Beard, Flower Kings, RPWL, Rocket Scientists, Dream Theater and many more), together with an added dash of funk, soul, classical, jazz, a twist of blues, and an extreme splodge of general mayhem and insanity.

The FAR MEADOW have released their debut digitally downloadable album "Where Joys Abound" in December 2012 by the quintet above, whilst they recruited two virtuosi Denis WARREN (guitars) and Keith BUCHMAN (bass) for making themselves firm musically and technically.
