This evening we dedicate our show to Andrew Latimer, the guitar virtuoso best known for his work with Camel, the well know progressive rock group that evolved into more pop and jazz works in later releases.  You've heard Mirage and Harbor of Tears here on FreeForm; tonight we spotlight his recent Bandcamp releases on which he plays all of the instruments except where noted.

Andrew Latimer (born 17 May 1949[1][2]) is an English musician and composer. He is a founding member of the progressive rock band Camel and the only member who has been with them since their formation in 1971. Although he is best known as a guitarist and singer, Latimer is also a flautist and keyboardist.[3 

Progressive rock guitarists such as Steve Rothery (Marillion),[7] Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth),[8] Bryan Josh (Mostly Autumn)[9] and Bruce Soord (The Pineapple Thief)[10] cite Latimer as one of their primary influences. Musician and producer Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree is a known fan of Camel and has stated, "Andy Latimer means very much for me."[11]

Latimer received a Lifetime Achievement award at the 2014 Progressive Music Awards.[12]
