About Me

Please listen to our montage from our forthcoming album of original material 'Aquaplanage' - the tracks are unfinished but serve as a taster of things to come. Keep watching for more soon!

Formed in 1998 as a Yes tribute band, Fragile found their definitive lineup in late 2002 and have recently toured the UK with Steve Howe amongst other things. Fragile approach Yes songs as if they were their own. Much attention is given to arrangements and injecting life into the songs - Fragile give more priority to sounding like a band rather than a bunch of individuals trying too hard to be like the real thing.
In November 2007 the founding members decided that it was time to take a break and concentrate on some personal and more original projects. Please read the official statement blog .
Fragile are very excited about their forthcoming original material CD release which may or may not be called 'AQUAPLANAGE'. The songs were written in 2001 and have finally reached the closing stages of production. The band are hoping to release this CD in early 2008 including some live shows around the country.
