From 1968 to 1971 Godfrey became the resident musical director with Barclay James Harvest, making musical contributions to early recordings which established their full, orchestral style of rock music. The relationship fell apart and accounts differ as to why. For a short time after this, Godfrey played in the band Siddartha. In 1974 the Charisma Records label released his first solo work, Fall of Hyperion. Although not a commercial success at the time, this work has since become collectible. Godfrey then went on to form "The Enid".

Notes
Barclay James Harvest first met Robert Godfrey when he approached them after a gig at London's Roundhouse in December 1968, where they had been the support act for a band called Gun, best known for their "Race With The Devil" hit single. He had trained at the Royal Academy of Music and at the Royal College of Music, where he had hopes of becoming a concert pianist before deciding to drop out. He attended the recording session for "Brother Thrush" at Abbey Road, and in about August of 1969 he went to live with the band at Preston House, where he became their "Resident Musical Director". He helped to assemble the "Barclay James Harvest Orchestra" from music students who had been part of the then-defunct New Symphonia, and wrote orchestral arrangements for some of the songs on Barclay James Harvest and Once Again, as well as conducting the orchestra on stage and in the recording studio.
He had aspirations to become a full member of Barclay James Harvest, and this led to disagreements with the band and their mentor and manager, John Crowther. By early 1971 he and the band had drifted apart, and the final break came after a row with John Crowther following which he was paid 100.00 and left. He subsequently made a solo record before finding greater success with his band The Enid, which is still recording and performing today.
