Dave with a certain Dr. Bruford – click to see someone else (or two people!) you might recognise in the background… 
Dave outside what was the Lucky Horseshoe Cafe. The Yes 50th Anniversary Plaque he organised is in the basement.
It was, as usual, a delight to speak to one of the most knowledgeable and friendly Yes fanatics this week, Dave Watkinson. He told us about three very special memorabilia activities he’s been involved in recently. You might want to take a look at the show notes for this week to see exactly what Dave’s talking about but it’s all fascinating and gives some new insights into the story of the world’s greatest progressive rock band. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as Mark and I did recording it.
- What’s Dave been up to this time?
- Why does he collect Yes memorabilia?
- What are his favourite items?
Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!

Theme music
The music I use is the last movement of Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite. This has been used as introduction music at many Yes concerts. My theme music is not take from a live concert – I put it together from the following two creative commons sources: thanvannispen and archive.org
One reply on “Dave Watkinson collects…everything! 456”
Who are those two fellas standing in front of Henry !?
But seriously thank you for the excellent interview with Dave.
