Caravan is an English band from the Canterbury area, founded by
former Wilde Flowers members David Sinclair, Richard Sinclair,
Pye Hastings and Richard
Coughlan. It rose to success over a period of several years from
1968 onwards into the 1970s as part of the Canterbury scene,
blending psychedelic rock and jazz to create a distinctive sound
