Biography

Sky were an English classical rock band formed in London in 1978 by guitarist John Williams and bassist Herbie Flowers, with Francis Monkman, Tristan Fry and Kevin Peek. Their virtuoso arrangements of classical pieces and original works brought unlikely chart success: 'Sky' (1979) went platinum in Britain and 'Sky 2' (1980) reached number one. Steve Gray replaced Monkman, Williams left in 1984, and the band continued to 'Mozart' (1987) before ending in 1995.
