Refugee were a progressive rock band formed in 1973 vocalist and bassist Lee Jackson and drummer Brian Davison (both ex-Nice members), after they met Swiss keyboardist Patrick Moraz.[1] They released one album, Refugee (1974), and made several live tours. Refugee were preparing material for a second album when Moraz left the group in August 1974 to join Yes and the group subsequently dissolved.

Refugee began preparing material for a second album, and at least one song that would have been included on the album, "One Left Handed Peter Pan", was played in their later concerts.[2] The group dissolved in August 1974, when Moraz accepted an offer to join Yes, as the replacement for the departing Rick Wakeman.[1] At their final concert, held at The Roundhouse (like their debut) on 11 August 1974, Jackson announced that this would be their final performance since Moraz was leaving.[2] Davison went on to work with Gong.[6]
