Caravan was formed in Canterbury, England in 1968 by Pye Hastings (guitar/ vocals), Dave Sinclair (keyboards), Richard Sinclair (bass/vocals) and Richard Coughlan (drums). The four had previously played at various times with a local band, The Wilde Flowers, which also featured Kevin Ayers and future Soft Machine members Robert Wyatt and Hugh Hopper.

To commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the legendary album ‘In The Land of Grey and Pink’, Universal released a deluxe box set in May 2011. The band followed with a well rehearsed almost complete Grey and Pink set at festivals across Europe and a small venue tour of the UK in October.

To commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the equally legendary album ‘For Girls Who Grow Plump In The Night’, the band headed to the road again for an exclusive UK tour in January 2013.
