Refugee were a progressive rock band formed in 1973 that consisted of vocalist and bassist Lee Jackson, drummer Brian Davison and keyboardist Patrick Moraz. They released one album, Refugee (1974) before the group dissolved after Moraz left the group in August 1974 to join Yes.



History


Jackson had formed Jackson Heights, while Davison formed his own band, Brian Davison's Every Which Way. After their fourth and final album Bump 'n' Grind (1973), Jackson Heights were looking for another keyboard player on tour, so Lee Jackson approached Patrick Moraz to ask him if he would be interested to join. Moraz proposed to form a new band instead, and with drummer Brian Davison, who was in The Nice with Jackson. The three then signed to Charisma Records, and developed a tight sound by practising up to eight hours each day.[1] Refugee supported the album with a tour.[2]


Refugee recorded their only studio album, Refugee (1974), at Island Studios in London. The music was composed by Moraz, with lyrics from Jackson.


The group dissolved in August 1974 when Moraz accepted an offer to join Yes. Davison went on to work with Gong.


A live album was released Live in Concert Newcastle City Hall 1974 in 2007.
