| 6/26/26 | ![]() Our Aurora review – 727 | Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius Limited edition box set It's time to post our full review of the latest Yes album, Aurora. Mark and I spoke - quite a lot - about the record and our reactions to it. As you will hear, we both like it a lot and we go into depth about why. There are a couple of aspects I'm not so keen on and there is even a [Shock! Horror!] minor disagreement between your two favourite podcast co-hosts! However, we agree that Aurora has some wonderful features and it's a hugely enjoyable record. What are the best features of this new album? Does it feel like a Yes album? Are there any less enjoyable aspects?

| 6/19/26 | ![]() R.I.P. Roy Flynn and Aurora physical copies – 726 | Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius It’s been a week of huge contrasts. Aurora was released and Mark and I chat about the physical copies later in the episode but I also had the news from Clive Ayer that Yes’ first manager, Roy Flynn, died this week. Clive kindly agreed to come and share his recollections of Roy but before. Here are two tributes, the first from Yes’ current management team and the second from Dave Watkinson: All of us at QEDG are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Roy Flynn, Yes’s very first manager, there at the beginning, “beyond and before,” when everything was still forming, still becoming. Roy believed in the band at a time when the path was uncertain, when the music was still finding its voice. He gave not just guidance, but energy, faith, and his own resources, helping to spark something that would grow far beyond those early days. In those first steps, from small stages to a recording contract, he helped set the course, quietly shaping the direction of a journey that would travel many roads. He saw the light in it, the possibility, the dream… and helped carry that “astral traveller” out into the world. His time with Yes was only a moment in the greater story, but like all true beginnings, it mattered, deeply and permanently. The echoes of that belief remain, still moving, still reaching. We send our love and condolences to his family and friends. And with gratitude, we remember Roy. One of those who stood at the dawn, when the music first turned and began to flow, when “love makes the world go round,” and the journey of Yes first found its wings. Martin Darvill Chairman, QEDG Management We are all very thankful for his dedication, money, foresight, and for unknowingly helping start such an important band. We look back fondly to those early days, so fresh and new, with big dreams and relentless energy. Thank you, Roy.

| 2/20/26 | ![]() In conversation with Jay Schellen – 709 | Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius This week we were delighted to welcome Yes drummer Jay Schellen back on the YMP. Just like last time, we had a lovely conversation and Jay shared his thoughts about the forthcoming UK and European Fragile Tour as well as the new Yes album that is now being prepared for release in July (hopefully). It’s clear from our interview that Jay is totally committed to the future development of the band and believes that the new album will be warmly received. We look forward to that, of course. What unexpected item does Jay take with him on tour? How does his kit differ from Alan White’s Has Jay been more involved in the writing of the forthcoming album than his previous Yes records? Do let us know your thoughts in the comments below. Drama and Fragile Live - last time! YES - FRAGILE UK TOUR 2026 YES Receive Stunning Reviews from USA leg of their FRAGILE tour, which they bring to the UK in April and May 2026. “Yes, quite possibly the most important Prog Rock originators and granddaddies of the genre, delivered deep cuts and their groundbreaking classic album, “Fragile,” in its glorious, delightfully indulgent, layered, and ambitious grandiosity tonight.” Sonic Nation, 11/10/25 “Prog-rock stalwarts Yes took the stage...bringing new energy to their classic sound.” --Danielle Modica, NYS Music, 10/9/25 “Truly prog rock at its finest, if I do say so myself. They’ve still got the groove, the intensity, and the mythicality that established them as such a unique act over 50 years ago.” Rock DNA Magazine - 5 stars – 5/10/25 Progressive Rock legends, YES, recently returned from the USA where they performed 31 shows on their Fragile Tour across the country. They hit the road in the UK once more for a 9-date trek across the country starting on 22nd April at the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow and ending with a two-night run at the prestigious Palladium in London on 3rd and 4th May. The tour will see YES performing their 1971 classic album, ‘Fragile’, in its entirety, including such timeless songs as ‘Heart of the Sunrise’, ‘South Side of the Sky’ and the much loved ‘Roundabout’ as well as a selection of songs from right across their illustrious catalogue from their legendary 70`s releases right up to their current album, ‘Mirror To the Sky.’ ‘Fragile’ was the fourth album by YES cracking the Top 10 in the UK in 1971 achieving Platinum status along the way and was the first to feature keyboardist Rick Wakeman. The single, ‘Roundabout’ was a Top 20 hit in the States with the album breaking into the Top 5 on the Billboard chart receiving a Double Platinum certification in the process. Steve Howe: “After The Yes Album, everything seemed to align. With Eddie Offord co-producing, and each of us contributing solo pieces, Fragile became a bold statement of creativity. It was Bill Bruford’s idea to include individual showcases—it was a bit oddball, but it captured the spirit of the time.” Each show will feature a gallery of work by esteemed artist, Roger Dean, whose paintings have graced the covers of many of YES albums over the years. ‘Fragile’ was the first YES album to feature Dean`s iconic artwork. The current line-up of YES features Steve Howe, whose association with Yes began in 1970, along with Geoff Downes, a member of the 1980 ‘Drama’ era line-up. Jon Davison has been lead vocalist in Yes since 2012 while bassist, Billy Sherwood, who was hand-picked by original bassist Chris Squire, has been involved with YES since 1990`s. Jay Schellen, who worked closely with Alan White on drums, completes the line-up. Steve Howe: “We’re all looking forward to the UK dates and will be presenting an intriguing first set then all of ‘Fragile’, in its entirety then a slight diversion before our usual final encore. See you all then” The ‘Fragile’ UK Tour Dates 2026 Wed 22nd April Glasgow Royal Concert Hall glasgowlife.org.uk Fri 24th April Sheffield City Hall sheffieldcityhall.co.uk Sat 25th April Liverpool Philharmonic Hall liverpoolphil.co.uk Mon 27th April Birmingham Symphony Hall bmusic.co.uk Tue 28th April Bournemouth Pavilion bournemouthpavillion.co.uk Thur 30th April Bristol Beacon bristolbeacon.org Fri 1st May Manchester Bridgewater Hall bridgewater-hall.co.uk Sun 3rd May London Palladium lwtheatres.co.uk Mon 4th May London Palladium lwtheatres.co.uk Tickets (subject to booking fees) go on general sale on Friday 19th September at 10am from BookingsDirect.com About YES Steve Howe: guitars, backing vocals (1970 –1981, 1990–1992, 1995–present) Geoff Downes: keyboards (1980–1981, 2011–present) Jon Davison: lead vocals, acoustic guitar (2012–present) Billy Sherwood: guitar, backing vocals ((1994, 1997–2000), bass guitar, backing vocals (2015–present) Jay Schellen: drums and percussion (2016-present) Formed in 1968 by Jon Anderson and the late Chris Squire with guitarist Steve Howe joining in 1971 for ‘The Yes Album’, YES have been one of the most innovative, influential and best-loved bands in rock music history.

| 2/13/26 | ![]() Yes Guess Who III – 708 | Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius This week, Mark and I had a lot of fun on one of our Yes Guess Who quizzes. Also, as you’ll hear, we veered a little off-topic in both the answer section of the quiz and in a two pence segment that was supposed to be about Yes and Yes-related Record Store Day releases, but we enjoyed a little bit of less serious chat a couple of times there. In the quiz, we each had five quotations from Yes men to try and fox each other with and, this time, I think they were quite a bit more difficult than the previous two outings of this game. Like last time, there were two points for attributing the quotation correctly and one for guessing the decade in which it was said. (That’s really the least reliable part of the quiz and just there to add a little extra spice, or whatever.) I also had a bonus point available for Mark on one question, so listen out for that. Who said what? When did they say it? Who won the competition? Do add your own scores to the comments below and tell us what you thought of the questions this time.

| 2/6/26 | ![]() Yes – Big in Japan with Glenn Williams – 707 | Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius This week, we had a great conversation with Glenn Williams, a rock writer based in Japan who I found via YMP Patron Paul Hailes. We picked Genn’s brains about the music scene in Japan today and over the decades to try and find out what makes the country ‘tick’ and why they seem to receive special treatment from record companies. I have several Yes records and CDs in Japanese import versions, as you probably do and they are always impressive. We also discussed the conditions for live music in Japan and how different genres are viewed. Glenn shared some great insights. Glenn (not always clowning about, I understand) How have music listening trends changed in Japan over the decades? Why has it always been seen as a great place to record live albums? How popular is progressive rock nowadays?

| 1/30/26 | ![]() Solo songs that could have been Yes songs – Part 2 – Jon Anderson – 706 | Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius This week, Mark and I continue our mini series about solo songs that could have been Yes songs and this time it’s Jon Anderson’s turn. As we did last week with Steve Howe, we listened to Jon’s first three solo albums - Olias of Sunhillow, Song of Seven and Animation. We chose just one song from each record that we think could have worked on a Yes album and discussed our reasons. It was very interesting, once again, to note the dramatic differences in approach that Jon went through from 1976 to 1982. In some ways, I think Anderson went the opposite direction to Howe, as you’ll hear. How does Jon Anderson’s solo approach change over the years? How easy is it to spot songs that could have been on yes albums? Who collaborated with Jon on these three records?

| 1/23/26 | ![]() Solo songs that could have been Yes songs – Part 1 – Steve Howe – 705 | Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I began a mini series on songs that appear on Yes members' solo albums but could have been re-worked as effective Yes songs. It was interesting to listen to our first subject, Steve Howe's first 3 solo albums, Beginnings, The Steve Howe Album and Turbulence back-to-back. There are plenty of differences to enjoy, plus some singing from Steve. We compared notes on several songs and also assigned what we called a 'Yesability score' to each song. All will be revealed in our conversation. Which Howe solo songs did we choose? Is it easy to tell what could have been Yes songs instead of solo numbers? How does Steve's music change over the years?

| 1/16/26 | ![]() Yes Indeed – Yes without Jon Anderson – with author, Preston Frazier – 704 | Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius Preston Frazier This week Mark and I welcomed our longstanding friend, Preston Frazier, onto the show to talk about his (relatively) new book, ‘Yes Indeed - Yes without Jon Anderson’. It’s a fascinating and very different kind of Yes book, as you’ll discover. As always, Preston was full of fun, even when we posed him some of the most difficult questions we have ever asked on the YMP. He took these in his stride, of course and I’m sure you will enjoy the conversation as much as we did. Why did Preston write this book? What was his approach? Is this book similar to any other books about Yes? Let us know what you think in the comments below. In “Yes Indeed: Tales from Yes Without Jon Anderson,” music journalist Preston M. Frazier delves into the transformative eras of the legendary progressive rock band Yes during the times when their iconic frontman, Jon Anderson, was absent. Through meticulous research and insightful analysis, Frazier chronicles the band’s resilience and evolution, shedding light on the albums, tours, and lineup changes that defined these pivotal periods. This compelling narrative offers readers a deeper understanding of Yes’s enduring legacy and their ability to innovate beyond expectations.

| 1/9/26 | ![]() 50+ years of Fish Out Of Water – 703 | Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius Mark and I return for the first time in the 15th year of the YMP this week to discuss some of what we believe are the most important aspects of the classic Chris Squire solo album, Fish Out Of Water. I do mention that it’s 50 years since its release but, as you probably know, we are a bit late to the party. The official release date was November 1975 but that doesn’t affect any of the points we make in our conversation. As we didn’t celebrate the real 50th anniversary, we are making up for that today. Do let us know what your thoughts are on this amazing record by leaving a comment in the show notes for this week. What makes this album so good? Is it the best Yes member solo album? Who else was involved? Let us know what you think in the comments below. https://youtu.be/5fDTIR7iT4g?si=BH10UBYZOwpapErW https://youtu.be/9E0FCrimVlI?si=Tdt9eVUO3D7eTER5 Barry Plummer 2026 Calendar is still available!
