Anderson-Wakeman Project UK Dates

Rick Wakeman and Jon Anderson have scheduled a few UK dates for October.

The much talked about Anderson-Wakeman Project is slated to play a few dates in October as part of a one-off limited run UK tour.

The duo will play classic Yes material and new, especially composed songs intertwined with hilarious anecdotes from their time on the road in the past 40 years.

Here are the dates announced SO FAR (more dates to be added shortly):

14 October - Ipswich Regent
21 October – Wolverhampton Civic Hall
22 October – The Anvil, Basingstoke
25 October – Buxton Opera House
6 November – Edinburgh Playhouse

Tickets for the shows are on sale now from the venues.

Rick, meanwhile, has revealed his solo touring plans for much of the rest of the year.

His One A Month concept seems to have gone out of the window after demand was so high for his show. A post on his website reads:

"Although I have stopped the long touring, I do enjoy getting up on stage and playing and have really enjoyed the one man shows with the piano that I have done at a few Arts Festivals over the last couple of years and to this end have decided to "tour" in the UK next year performing just 12 shows - one a month!

"At least that was the plan! It seems that many theatres liked the idea of the show, so we're abandoned the concept of one a month. Hence this is now "A Very Intimate Evening with me.”
