Pendragon is a British progressive rock band established in 1978 as Zeus Pendragon by guitarist Nick Barrett. The Zeus was dropped before the band started recording. There were a few personnel changes in the early days, but since 1986 the lineup has remained stable, and the band is still active as of 2005. Their music is characterised by Barrett's virtuoso guitar playing and his highly emotional, if eccentric, vocal performances.
