Oliver Wakeman’s Tales – 508

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius It was a great
pleasure to welcome back to the show former Yes keyboard player and
prolific solo artist, Oliver Wakeman. We asked him about some of
his latest releases including Dark Fables, Tales From Gaslight and
his soundtrack to Yendor. It was particularly interesting to hear
recollections of working with original Yes guitarist Peter Banks
and Oliver also shared some remarkable tales from his Yes days
including what happened when he first joined the band in Canada,
what Chris Squire said to him and something to do with sellotaping
two keyboard pedals together... Was Oliver's entry to the band
smooth and straight-forward?What was Peter Banks like to work
with?Why does Oliver keep coming back to epic structures and
story-telling in his music? Listen to the episode and let us know
what you think! Oliver's links Oliver's website:

Theme music The music I use is the last movement of Stravinsky's
Firebird Suite. This has been used as introduction music at many
Yes concerts. My theme music is not take from a live concert - I
