LEGENDARY keyboard wizard Rick Wakeman is to perform an intimate evening event for just 300 fans in Birmingham this September to raise money for the Lord Mayor’s Charity.
The virtuoso musician, who was famously part of the prog-rock group Yes and playing on hits for Cat Stevens and David Bowie, goes on his Grumpy Christmas Stocking tour in November and December.
Rick made his name as a session musician and collaborator in the late 1960s and early 1970s, notably playing mellotron on David Bowie’s breakthrough 1969 hit Space Oddity, while giving Cat Stevens’ 1971 version of Morning Has Broken its famous rolling piano sound.
He went on to be a member of prog-rock band Yes before enjoying a successful solo career spanning a number of decades, selling more than 50 million copies of his albums.
VIP tickets are strictly limited - only 40 are available at £85 each – and include an arrival drink plus meeting Rick himself. General admission is £45. Please note all tickets purchases are subject to a booking fee.
