I’m very excited to announce that Tom Brislin has agreed to be interviewed for the Yes Music Podcast in the New Year. As you can see from this image, I saw Tom play on Yes’ 2001 Tour in Birmingham, UK. He is also a solo artist and has recently released a new album which you can preview here:

I’m very much looking forward to asking Tom what it was like to work with members of Yes on tour and also about his own music.

So look out for the interview in the early weeks of 2013!
