Rick Wakeman plays his Christmas show with his son Oliver Wakeman and singer Mollie Marriott at Portsmouth Guildhall.
Rick Wakeman brings A Hint Of Christmas to Portsmouth Guildhall on Sunday 6 December, with doors opening at 7pm. It's a family affair on stage: Wakeman is joined by his eldest son, Oliver Wakeman, and singer Mollie Marriott. The set runs from their shared musical heritage through to their latest recordings, and it's rounded off with Rick's trademark witty banter and his traditional Yuletide celebrations.
Rick Wakeman CBE has a career spanning more than 60 years, with keyboard stints in Yes and The Strawbs. Oliver is a composer and keyboard player in his own right, and he's also played for Yes and The Strawbs. The two toured the United States together for the first time earlier this year; before that, they'd only played together at one-off shows, like The Myths And Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table at London's O2 Arena. Mollie Marriott, daughter of the late Small Faces frontman Steve Marriott, has sung with Rick many times and features on his latest album, Return to the Red Planet.
