This week I’m feeding back on my trip to Trading Boundaries to see what Dave Watkinson has put on display alongside the permanent Roger Dean exhibition there. I made a video of Dave showing me around and we both enthuse about all the amazing items.
I then had a chance to chat with Mark about what he noticed on the video – of course it’s embedded into the show notes below.

I received an interesting email from a listener this week. She asked if anyone was aware of the connections between a song by the Italian prog group PFM and Yes’ Gates of Delirium. I’ll explain more when I go through the email with Mark a little later on.
Many thanks to the Patrons who gave their feedback on the topic and before you listen to Mark and my take, you may want to listen to the music involved. I’ve embedded the PFM and the Yes songs in the show notes below so head on over to yesmusicpodcast.com and see what you think – then please do add your thoughts to the comments section.

Mark was back this week and we welcomed YMP listener and Patron Jon Pickles onto the show to talk about the time he was a ‘tea boy’ at Trident Studios in London. You’ll need to listen to the interview to hear all about it but Trident was the world-renowned studio where, amongst unnumbered highlights of rock music, Yes recorded overdubs for their first album, Queen recorded their first two albums and The Beatles recorded Let It Be and other seminal songs.
Listen out for stories about Rick Wakeman, Bill Bruford, Trevor Horn and many more!

I did manage to speak to the Yes expert Henry Potts, however, about his recent blog post. Called ‘What does 2025 hold for Yes fans?’ it contains, in Henry’s usual style, a huge amount of detail about all sorts of live and recorded Yes and Yes-related activity that may or may not see the light of day in 2025.
As I say later on, if only half of what we talk about actually appears, it will indeed be a great year for Yes and associated artists.
Many thanks to Henry who was as cheerful and generous as always, despite only having 24hrs notice of the recording.
Henry’s site is a veritable cornucopia of Yes and Yes-related information and is one of the longest-lived sources of Yes information on the internet, having been active since 1998!
