Rik Wakeman - Invites you to see his 'Piano Odyssey'

Rik Wakeman takes his beautiful piano show on a massive tour

Following the hugely successful 'Piano Portraits' tour last year, in support of the album of the same name...  Rick Wakeman will return in Autumn 2018 with a new show based on the follow up release, entitled 'Piano Odyssey'. The fourteen-date tour will feature even more classic tracks given Rick’sunique piano treatment, and will travel to towns and cities not previously visited in 2017. 

Upon the release of his 'Piano Portraits' album in January 2017, the Yes keyboardist made chart history, becoming the first solo piano album to enter the UK’s top ten, eventually reaching number six. Inspired by the unprecedented public reaction to his cover of Bowie’s 'Life on Mars' on BBC Radio 2 a year earlier, the album features instrumental versions of hits that Rick was originally involved with, such as 'Space Oddity' and 'Morning has Broken', as well as others which he chose for their melodies... including 'Stairway to Heaven' and 'Help!'. 

The 2018 concerts will be based on a selection of tracks from both 'Piano Odyssey' and 'Piano Portraits', showcasing music that has a special connection with Rick’s own personal musical journey, all accompanied by his hilarious memories and anecdotes about the tunes, plus a few musical surprises. In December, an additional special Christmas tour will follow, in which the setlist will be given a distinctly seasonal twist. Expect a night of beautiful piano arrangements, interspersed with Wakeman’s renowned comedy interludes.

All tickets for the tour are available from: www.MyTicket.co.uk - Prices will begin at £29.50.
