There is a very good Camel tribute band from Israel, "The Humps", and one of the band members wrote to the Camel mailinglist (at 'roadkill') that they'd wanted to visit the UK in 2013...
I've been waiting for them to visit, lte. Sent them an email with some venue suggestions, it would be great to see them. Didn't they play in the Netherlands last time they visited Europe?
Zitat von longtallericYeah - couldn't make it back then (combination of distance and other obligations). :(
Unlucky. Next time maybe we can organise a coach trip or something There's a lot of fun stuff on youtube if you search for "Camel tribute", more than I imagined!
I formed a Camel tribute band in London as long ago as 1985. I was the drummer. We rehearsed and played very tight versions of 'The White Rider', 'Sasquatch', 'Lies', 'Stationary Traveller', 'Arubaluba' and 'Drafted' but the commitment wasn't there when it came to learning 'Echoes' and the band folded. I would love to form a Camel tribute band again but I've since become disabled.
Tony, it turns out I know you from the mailinglist. :) Sad to read you won't be able to play the drums anymore. Hopefully you have found another way to let go of your energy. Being a drummer myself, it's hard to imagine what it'd mean not to be able to play again.
Did your band ever make recordings? I'd be curious about the Arubaluba rendition particularly.
I'm with "The Humps". We'll be doing a few shows in Germany and Holland during March 2013. We very much would have liked to do some UK shows as well, and tried contacting the venues suggested by the generous camel mailing list members. However unfortunately got no response whatsoever. We've also found out that if you are not part of the EU, you cannot just come to the UK and do shows. You have to have a "sponsor", a person who is in charge of you.

I've been composing keyboard/electronic music over the years and released two albums, but even this is becomming increasingly difficult as I have limited use of my hands and fingers. Thankfully the sequencer comes to the rescue.
Yes, I do have a recording of the Camel tribute band which includes 'Arubaluba'.

Nice to hear from you Yonatan. I have never heard that "sponsor" rule before, it seems rather strict. Looks like I'll either have Europe to travel to see you, or find a few hundred fans in the UK and act as a sponsor! Anyway, I really enjoyed your youtube videos, so thanks for those.

Fritz, a friend of mine wants for his music club in the next few years, "The Hump" to get to Germany.
Fritz and his equal partner still hesitate because they fear that the interest in a Camel tribute band not particularly large, and thus had an incalculable financial risk will be discussed.
I understand Fritz, he has organized over 30 years Concerts in the small to medium frames for the club.
I've even done some initial events and know the great interest that diminishes relatively quickly.
