The Lilac Time

The Lilac Time

The Lilac Time are a band formed in Herefordshire, England and now based in Cornwall by Stephen Duffy and his brother Nick Duffy in 1986. The name being taken from a line in the Nick Drake song "River Man"::"Gonna see the River Man
Gonna tell him all I can
About the plan
For Lilac Time"

The band's activity has intertwined with Stephen's solo career, waxing and waning as time permitted. However, the group never disbanded and continues to make records into the 2000s. The latest Runout Groove was released in 2007 when a six-piece Lilac Time played the Green Man Festival and the Queen Elizabeth Hall. The former serves as the back drop to the film "Memory & Desire 30 Years in the Wilderness With Stephen Duffy & The Lilac Time". Filmed over six years it includes new and vintage Lilac footage, and will be accompanied by a Universal Records album of the same name bringing together songs from Duffy's thirty years of music making. The QEH concert is being mixed for to be a live l.p.
