The Enidi is the official fan club for The Enid funded by a modest annual subscription

It has an ever growing membership who share a common love for The Enid, past and present and the unique musical style the band have pioneered over more than three decades.

As the successor to The Stand, The Enidi is now more important than ever.

The aims are to help promote and support The Enid in their efforts to be able to put on the best possible shows in the finest venues in front of an ever growing audience.

The Tryst - What we can do Together

The Enidi and the band together are like a great pipe organ - the king of instruments. The largest pipes of a great pipe organ provide the rock - the solid foundation upon which the music is built - and are fewer in number. The smaller pipes are much more numerous and provide the thrilling textures and rich harmonics without which the music would be very dull. The Enidi and the band together are like such a great creative instrument.

A new generation of young gifted musicians has now established itself in a stable and dedicated band line up and they are in it for the long haul. Between them, they have both the imagination and creative gifts capable of achieving something truly magnificent. But they cannot do it without help and support from us - their fans.

Achievements and Future Plans

Include releases of a major studio album, Journey's End; two albums in the Arise and Shine series; historic EMI recordings; DVDs of Birmingham Town Hall, and Hammersmith Odeon 1979 with footage from Nearfest and Loreley in the pipeline; the production of exclusive “ Valiant Hearts” free CD for the Enidi membership.

Touring has gone from strength to strength including gigs and festivals in the UK, USA, France, Belgium, Portugal, Germany and Holland. Going forward includes several festivals in the UK and on the continent. Coming up in October is the Symphonic Art Rock event of the year with the music of The Enid for the first time heard in all its orchestral glory.

Marmite

The Enidi membership is steadily growing and soon it will reach critical mass. When it does, the band will be in a position to do something really wonderful with the live shows. The Enid are a Marmite band, either hated or loved with little in between. As such they are entirely dependent on real music lovers for their existence. The contributions and work provided by us, the Enidi members, both collectively and as individuals is vital.

There are many purely material benefits of membership including, generous discounts on concert tickets and music - unfettered online access to the band's back catalogue, a specially recorded free album every year, an annual convention  - the list goes on.

When you join up, you will immediately receive the current free Enidi CD - “Valiant Hearts” - and a membership card through the post. You will also become eligible to purchase some of the best VIP tickets in the house for Symphony Hall at a discount price with the ability to bring family and friends at greatly reduced rates.

The band is in your hands

It takes hundreds of hours of creative work costing many thousands of pounds to produce an album like Journey's End.

The days of big record companies spending money on expensive works of art are long gone. Nor is there an Arts Council willing to support this sort of thing on the grounds that there are apparently sufficient commercial avenues available. Yet we now live in a world where people don't expect to pay for music when they can so easily download from the Internet for free.

This state of affairs has led to limitless  choice from a vast mountain of largely shallow revamped rubbish produced on the cheap. The only place funding for a band like us can possibly come from is the fans.

They will need to be true music lovers and be ready to step collectively into the shoes of good old fashioned patronage to support the future of bands like The Enid. Elsewise the likes of us and all those other potential bands of the future with big ideas about music will fade into the shadows.
