Biography

Mandala was formed by Rhys Marsh, Francis Booth and Will Spurling in London, in the autumn of 1997. The foundation of the band was to fuse western and eastern folk music, mixed with heavier forms of progressive rock, all wrapped in an early-seventies glow.

During their first nine years together, they performed hundreds of concerts across the UK and North America. They recorded many songs during that time, which were occasionally self-pressed onto CD and sold at concerts, but they never managed to record an entire album.

In 2006, Mandala decided to part ways. Rhys moved to Norway, while Francis and Will concentrated on other projects.

In 2014, they got back together and decided to finally record their debut album — a collection of the songs that kicked it all off, half their lives ago.

Drawing from material circa 1999—2004, this will be the Mandala loved of old, carefully matured 15 years, like a fine whisky…
