Rick Live

Rick Wakeman is at his best in front of an audience, as I'm sure many of you know. This page contains details of all forthcoming performances worldwide, together with reviews where they exist from previous concerts. If you have any reviews, or if you'd like to write one yourself, please let me know. We also try where possible to list appearances on TV and radio.

Piano Portraits

In the publicity for the October and November Piano Portraits tour, many theatres and sites are stating that this is my 50th year in the music business which is totally untrue.

I am not sure where this stupid and inaccurate statement came from but it was certainly not from my side of things, but I am so incensed about this that I intend to find out the source and whoever is responsible will no longer be part of our “team” as we pride ourselves that everything that appears anywhere should be accurate and approved by either myself or the management office.

For the record, my 50th year anniversary will be in 2019 and I will be planning some special events to celebrate this. 1969 was when I truly considered myself as a working professional musician. It was in 1969 that I started full time as a session musician and it was in that year that one of them was Space Oddity, so that, as far as I am concerned, is the year when it all began.
