National Health
Description:
One of the most interesting, but lesser-known bands from the 1970s British progressive rock scene was National Health. They played some of the most intricate and engaging music ever attempted by a rock group. 
Largely instrumental, the music is characterized by shifting time signatures and virtuoso playing, yet it somehow remains accessible.
Over its history, band members included:
- Bill Bruford Percussionist. Original drummer of Yes, longtime drummer for King Crimson.
- Mont Campbell Bassist (also French horn).
- Alan Gowen Keyboardist and founder.
- John Greaves Bassist and vocalist. Formerly with Henry Cow.
- Steve Hillage Guitarist. Formerly with Gong, now a record producer.
- Phil Lee Guitarist.
- Phil Miller Guitarist.
- Neil Murray Bassist. Replaced Mont Campbell and appeared on the first album.
- Amanda Parsons Vocalist. Amanda was one of the "Northettes," a trio of female singers who supplemented the lineup of Hatfield and the North.
- Pip Pyle Percussionist.
- Dave Stewart Keyboardist and founder.
- Dave Stewart & Barbara Gaskin / Broken Records
