Yes Please recreate the excitement of a 1970s Yes Concert with classic sounds, full harmonies and an earthy, energetic attitude.

Formed after a chance meeting between The Book of Lies keyboardist Rick and Dark Side of the Room guitarist Mike in 2011, the band took its time seeking out the perfect players for this demanding music, welcoming Pete on drums in 2012 then Nick on bass and vocals in 2014. The final piece of the puzzle slid into place with the arrival from the land of song of Tom on vocals, twelve string guitar and percussion.

From ‘Yours Is No Disgrace’, ‘Starship Trooper’, to the epic ‘Close To The Edge’ and the band’s biggest hits ‘Roundabout’, ‘Wonderous Stories’ and ‘Owner of a Lonely Heart’, Yes Please painstakingly recreate the exhilarating, intricate, innovative and intense music of their heroes.

Don’t miss the rare opportunity to hear live the music of the greatest progressive rock band ever!

“Fantastic show – superb playing!” PB

“I've seen the original yes in 1974……and this yes tribute band I saw last week..they were fantastic …these guys put their heart and soul into their show…”CB

“Absolutely – totally convincing playing. Superb” …SO

“Fantastic gig last night guys… it’s 41 years since last I heard Close to The Edge live. You made an old man feel very happy (or a happy man feel very old!). ” NK

“What a great gig this was! As a seasoned musician myself (58 & counting!) I was invited along to Thame by another musician friend. I didn’t know what to expect, but was absolutely astonished at the accuracy of the arrangements & was instantly transported back to the very first ‘live’ gig I ever went to, which was ‘Yes’ at the Rainbow Theatre in 1973! The tracks you chose were all spot on & totally evocative of my teenage years. I look forward to seeing you guys again soon & by the way, if you ever need a dep drummer, please get in touch!” RC

“Trust me – if you like classic period YES – GO!” JK
