I'm officially on leave but Mark and I had to comment on the storm around Ice Bridge Gate this week.

If you haven't been on social media for some time you may have missed what happened so we aim to bring you up-to-speed on all the tortuous twists in this tale.

• Who wrote The Ice Bridge?
• Where did it come from?
• Why is a very similar tune on a 1980 film and Sale of the Century?

Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!

Well, here we are. Friday 23rd July 2021 and we have brand new Yes music to enjoy. The Ice Bridge is available for all to listen to on Yes’ YouTube channel and Mark and I share our initial reactions to it. Sneak preview - we love it.

We also speak to the wonderful Claire Hamill in an interview I’m sure you will enjoy as much as we did. There are some amazing and hilarious recollections about Alan White and others to enjoy.

• What was the London music scene like in the early 1970s?
• What was Alan White like?
• How was recording with Yes tribute band, Fragile?

Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!

I had no time to do any news collation this week but I did have time to speak to the redoubtable Geoff Bailie and the equally impressive Mark Anthony K about what could have happened if the ill-fated Paris Sessions of 1979 had ended in a Yes album.

I also invited Geoff to give is thoughts on the forthcoming new Yes album, The Quest.

• What was that music like?
• Was it worth finishing off?
• Would we have had Drama or 90125 or anything else from the band?

Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!

This week there was some fairly significant Yes news - The Quest is the new studio album which will be released on 1st October 2021. Mark and I will be talking about this, as you can imagine, in our two pence later in the episode.

Before that, we finish off our examination of The Syn’s 2005 album, Syndestructible which we are taking as what Chris Squire did next in the Yes hiatus period. Stay tuned for our thoughts on that and get involved yourself by adding your comments on the show notes for this week.

• What did Chris Squire do in the hiatus?
• Why was it a return to former times for him?
• What was the result and was it worth it?

This week I am officially on holiday from the day job but that didn't stop Mark and me discussing the next person in our What Did They Do Next series - it's Chris Squire. He never really left Yes but during the hiatus period he did get up to some interesting things...

• What did Chris Squire do in the hiatus?
• Why was it a return to former times for him?
• What was the result and was it worth it?
