Rick Wakeman adds three extra Christmas shows

Rick Wakeman.

Keyboard masestro Rick Wakeman has announced three new shows to his Christmas run of dates for his upcoming run of Christmas shows, which return this November and December.

Wakeman will now also play at London's Lyric Theatre on November 25, Stoke-on-Trent Victoria Hall December 3 and Cheltenham Town Hall on December 19.

“There’s an old expression which goes "If it ain’t broke, then don’t fix it’” says Rick, "and in most cases, that’s absolutely correct. However, I’ve decided that in spite of the success of the tried and tested formula for my solo Christmas tours over the last few years, it’s time for a rethink, and so the one-man show becomes a three-man show – well, two male and one female, to be entirely accurate."

So in a break with tradition, for this year's seasonal shows Wakeman will be joined by son Adam and singer Mollie Marriott, daughter of late Humble Pie frontman Steve Marriott, for the first time. Both have been on the road with him as part of the English Rock Ensemble on his current Return Of The Caped Crusader… tour.

Wakeman says it will be "an evening of festive fun with a difference", while Wakeman Junior admits he’s worried what his father means by that!
