wikipedia:
British composer, pianist and founder member of The Enid.
Born on the Leeds Castle estate in Kent, England, Godfrey was educated at Finchden Manor in Tenterden, which was described by its founder George Lyward as a "therapeutic community for adolescents", other alumni of which included Alexis Korner and Tom Robinson. Although he didn't start to play the piano until the age of twelve, Godfrey's talent was prodigious enough to gain him admission to both the Royal College of Music, then the Royal Academy of Music. He studied under concert pianist Malcolm Binns, and those around him included Sir Michael Tippett, Benjamin Britten and Hans Werner Henze.
From 1968 to 1971 Godfrey became resident musical director with Barclay James Harvest, making musical contributions to early recordings which established their full, orchestral style of rock music. The relationship fell apart and accounts differ as to why. For a short time after this, Godfrey played in the band Siddartha. In 1974 the Charisma Records label released his first solo work, Fall of Hyperion. Although not a commercial success at the time, this work has since become collectable.
He then went on to form The Enid, a band that is still performing and recording today.
Recently, he has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. As a consequence of this, he has revealed that he intends to retire from The Enid and allow the band to continue to perform without him.

Tapestry of Delights:
This organ-driven blues and jazz influenced outfit was fronted by Weaver who'd previously been in The Fairies. Their albums include several cover versions. For example, Out Of The Frying Pan is an instrumental album and among others includes cover versions of Jumping Jack Flash (Rolling Stones), Baby I Love You (R. Shannon), Willie And The Hand Jive (Johnny Otis), Alexander's Ragtime Band (I. Berlin), Tequila (C.Rio), The House That Jack Built (Alan Price) and Hi Heel Sneakers (R. Higginbottom). Mick Weaver only wrote two tracks, Gasoline Alley and Harpsichord Shuffle, which is the best thing on the album. Very few British bands had such a strong Hammond organ sound, which is now big in the clubs. Their 45s included covers of Bobby Bland's Turn On Your Lovelight, Donovan's Sunshine Superman and The Spencer Davis Group's I Am A Man.
Upon their demise Weaver spent the first three months of 1969 in Mason-Capaldi-Wood-Frog (aka Wooden Frog), before becoming a session man. Hubbard, Spenner and Rowland all returned to The Greaseband from whence they'd come.
