    This guy is absolutely incredible on keyboards/piano. Have seen the gig before- plays some old Yes songs, solo stuff, and tells some funny Yes touring stories etc. Well worth checking out if you haven't caught him before

    Zero interest but Im sure it'll be a good show, for people into that kind of thing.

    Good to see hes only charging 25 quid a ticket. Prog nerds are used to paying three times that for "retro" tours.

    Hes put on a right bit of timber in the last few years judging by that picture.

    Ah ok. Still not the worst though. The Yes fans 3/4 length coats cost more than that.

    Yeah little bit pricey for the good seats but not the worst either. And (I may be wrong) but I think it could be his first ever solo gig in Ireland in a career spanning four decades or so...

    Check out the insanity of playing on the second part of this clip (back before my time when RW was playing bigger venues than the Olympia..)
