We are delighted to welcome the return of Rick Wakeman to our stage.

Join us for two intimate evenings before Rick heads off to America and then back for tours of Holland, Italy and Scandinavia... it's rumoured he might take a few days off in the summer, but it's only a rumour!

He joined YES in August of 1971 and has been in and out of that band on quite a few occasions! (One journalist likened the relationship to that of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, in as much as they can’t live with each other but in the same breath, can’t live without each other! Rick told the journalist he didn’t disagree as long as it was accepted that he was “Richard Burton!”)

Both as a solo artist and with YES he has sold more than 50,000,000 albums, although he says that only a clairvoyant would be able to tell you where the royalties went!

He has written two film scores for Ken Russell, ('Lisztomania' and 'Crimes of Passion'), two scores for Harry Palmer films starring Michael Caine, ('Bullet to Beijing' and 'Midnight in St. Petersburg'), and the award winning 1976 Winter Olympics film 'White Rock' as well as 'Gole', 'Hero', 'A Day After The Fair' and two horror films, 'Creepshow 2' and 'The Burning'.

He has also carved out quite a television career in the UK , appearing on every single programme of the 'Grumpy Old Men' series, just under 100 appearances on Countdown plus numerous invites onto 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks', 'Have I got News For You', 'Pointless, The Chase', and had 6 years as a regular presenter on 'Watchdog'. On Radio 4 he can be regularly heard on 'The News Quiz', 'Just a Minute' and 'It’s Your Round'. He also hosted the stand-up show Live at Jongleurs on television for five years which was shown around the world .

He has two current books available ... 'Grumpy Old Rockstar' and 'Further Adventures of a Grumpy Old Rockstar', both of which made the best sellers list. The third in the series is due for release in 2024.

He still finds time each year to perform concerts around the world which can range from his extremely popular one man shows to extravaganzas with symphony orchestras and choirs .

In 2013 he performed 12 consecutive sell out one man shows at the Edinburgh Festival,

In 2014 he toured his highly acclaimed 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth' with a symphony orchestra, choir and band to more than 30,000 people in the UK and was also two further concerts were performed in 2019 at The Royal Festival Hall to celebrate Rick’s 70^th birthday.

In 2018 and 2019  he released two albums, 'Piano Portraits' and 'Piano Odyssey' reaching the Top 10 in the UK and recorded a piano album especially for Xmas entitled Christmas Portraits .

The 2020 pandemic hit the music industry extremely hard, especially when it came to performances and subsequently all Rick’s concerts and tours were put on hold . Many were rescheduled for 2021 and 2022 as some countries were able to return to some semblance of normality when it came to live performances, but as the lockdowns continued, 2021 became a washout, as indeed it was for much of the entertainment industry.

During this period, he recorded the highly acclaimed prog rock album, his first for many years, entitled 'The Red Planet' which achieved a top 20 chart position and continues to be a best seller.

He followed this up in 2023 with 'A Gallery of the Imagination', another top 20 album.

Rick will have you enthralled by his performance and laughing along with his storytelling. These are two very special evenings where you will be up close to this legendary performer in our candlelit, restaurant venue... don't miss out!
