Agincourt

The Profile

Agincourt was a small English music project centered on Peter Howell and John Ferdinando, active around the late 1960s into 1973. They recorded several releases under different names and from the third release used the name Agincourt; Fly Away features guest vocals by Lee Menelaus and blends pastoral folk, soft psychedelia and early dream-pop textures.

Peter Howell, one of the principal members, later worked at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
