YES tribute Seyes bring their two hour-plus show of classic 70s Prog Rock to the Platform in Morecambe on Friday 16 October.
Five piece Seyes re-create the live sound of Yes during their 70s multi-million album selling heyday. The band comprises Phil Bernia on lead vocals with Tim Lockyer, Tim Rothwell, Chris Bradshaw and Pete Greenwood on guitar, drums keyboards and bass respectively.
There have been many Rock tributes but a Yes tribute is something of a rarity. Says bass guitarist Pete Greenwood: “The sheer hard work that Yes put into their compositions is reflected in the depth and power of the music and it's hard to find five musicians willing (and crazy enough) to delve into that and re-create it because it takes time."
Yes music is “live” music and Seyes is about keeping Classic Yes music in a live situation which is where it was intended for. Yes can be seen as a bit of a “guilty” pleasure but we want an audience to just come and enjoy the pleasure of a live Yes music show sometimes for the first time since the 70s . When someone brings their children to a show it's always great to see younger people in the audience enjoying live Yes music for the first time”
During the show Seyes will be performing the entire “Close To The Edge” album which reached Gold status when it hit the charts in September 1972 plus “The Gates Of Delirium” to mark the 35th anniversary of the 1974 “Relayer” album.
The show will start at 8pm and tickets cost £10 adults, £9 concessions, from the box office on 01524 582803.
