While there’s no escaping the fact that he’s the eldest child of Yes keyboard legend Rick Wakeman, Oliver Wakeman has carved out his own significant career. He played a diverse range of music with a broad array of bands before touring with Yes from 2008 to 2011, being dismissed when the band changed line-up during the making of Fly From Here.
In 2019 the band released the mini-album From A Page, featuring previously unreleased tracks laid down by Wakeman, Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Alan White and Benoît David before the change. Wakeman took the opportunity to tell Prog about his arrival and departure from the band.
