So please subscribe and see some of the silly things I get up to, and the musical stuff as well.” – Rick Wakeman

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’s unique piano treatment, and will travel to towns and cities not previously visited in 2017.
A live version of Rick’s critically acclaimed album ‘Piano Portraits’ was filmed & recorded at the Lincoln Cathedral in London on March 7th, 2018. ‘Live Portraits’ will be released on CD/DVD soon. It can be ordered exclusively from Pledge Music here.
