Illusion (UK band)
Encyclopedia : I : IL : ILL : Illusion (UK band)
Illusion was a British band formed in 1977. They released two albums, Out of the Mist and Illusion, and comprised John Hawken (keyboards), Louis Cennamo (bass), Jane Relf (vocals), Jim McCarty (vocals, acoustic guitar and percussion), John Knightsbridge (guitars) and Eddie McNeill (drums). As might be expected from the personnel, their style was classically-inspired, sophisticated, and polished.
Illusion was intended to be a re-creation of the original line-up of Renaissance (whose second album was titled Illusion), but singer and guitarist Keith Relf died before the project was realised. McCarty moved from drums to lead male vocal, his drum chair was taken over by McNeill, and Knightsbridge took over the guitar role.
