Norway show

I have located official confirmation of this show through the venue, which is scheduled for June 7th at Sentrum Scene in Oslo.  It appears it was announced yesterday along with the dates in Warsaw and Copenhagen.


At this point it seems there will not be an update on the official ARW website until all dates are announced, so unless that occurs within the next week one might assume there are more dates to come for June, at the very least.

update: more information on upcoming shows

I needed to completely rewrite my latest entry as further information has been found, for those of you who had read my post regarding the Warsaw show.  Part of the problem is that some of the announcements regarding upcoming dates have been using the social media designations for Yes Official rather than Yes featuring ARW.  As I noted in that previous entry (which I've now taken down and replaced with this one), it appears I spoke too soon regarding the number of shows ARW will be performing in June, as the total now stands at seven: three in the UK and four in Europe.

So here's what I have found so far:
June 3rd - Sowinski Park in Warsaw

June 10th - VEGA in Copenhagen
https://vega.dk/event/yes---featuring-jon-anderson,-trevor-rabin,-rick-wakeman--31542

I have also seen mention of a show in Oslo, but I have yet to find any information from the promoter or venue regarding when/where it will be, but I will either update this entry or post a new one as soon as I'm able to find additional details.

another European show

Spotted on Instagram: ARW will be appearing at the Sweden Rock festival on June 9th as one of the headliners.
Their entry on the festival's website can be accessed here:

As Rick mentioned in a recent interview that they would be playing "a couple" of European shows, this appears to be the extent of their bookings in that region for 2018.

a very Big Fish in the musical sea

In observance of what would have been Chris Squire's 70th birthday, I thought I'd post some of the fabulous fanart available online in honor of The Fish.  May his presence loom over us in benevolent - and booming - splendour for all time.  The artists' love and respect for Chris is evident in each of these works and my gratitude to all of them for sharing their art with the fandom.

This portrait is from the hand of The Groovy Archives, her beautiful image features Chris wearing a crown of lotus and ivy.

This "green and submarine" drawing was created by my dear friend Jennifer Albright, it's been in fandom circulation for many years now, a testament to her talent.

Andy has created many wonderful images of Chris, and this is one of my favorites.  They are so creative, encompassing a range of different styles to enjoy.

Charlie Roy has also drawn many portraits of Chris, I recommend you check out his Instagram for more amazing artwork!

wonderful memories

As I noted yesterday, Trevor updated his Facebook regarding the upcoming Summer touring, but he also changed the photo on his page header to one which long-time fans have seen a few times over the years, and I also included it in my entry from January of last year regarding Beginnings.

One of Trevor's original Rabbitt-era fans posted a great comment in this entry and I really appreciate Josie de Villiers sharing with us the story of how she came to gift Trevor with that particular shirt as well as where the photo originally appeared (I would assume it was taken to accompany an article in that publication).  Many thanks, Josie!
Ok my word! I was a HUGE fan of Trevor’s when he had his band Rabbitt in the 70’s and I actually bought him that jersey as a gift. AMERICA 77 ON PARADE! I took it to his house in Parktown all gift wrapped expecting to drop it off and when his mom opened the front door - he was sitting right there on the phone. I nearly passed out from excitement!🙈That picture appeared in The Star Newspaper as well and yes it was of him, his dad Godfrey and his brother Derick. Seeing this photo is such a blast from the past and brings back great memories of those days!

Not that these things are related, but...

...I'd just like to thank Trevor for posting on my birthday.  :)


All teasing aside, we're all looking forward to it as well, Trev. *thumbs up*
