PRESS RELEASE 10/10/08......
FRAGILE AWAKEN!
Founded by Max Hunt, Johnny Marter, Chris Hook, Rob Illes & Tom Dawe, AWAKEN started up in early 2008 following FRAGILE's move to stop working as a regular band after their European tour with Steve Howe at the end of 2007. The band did a launch gig in Swindon in early Summer, which was was followed up with another warm up show in Tintagel in August 2008.
Following positive discussions between all parties, Fragile's Steve Carney performed lead vocals with Awaken at the Tintagel show. The gig convinced Steve that the Awaken line up had enormous potential and re-ignited his passion for live work. Similarly the Mathew Street Festival ‘reunion’ a week later reaffirmed Fragile as an enduring act that Yes fans will travel far and wide to see, with the band performing to an audience in excess of 11,000.
Following this Max and Steve considered the possibility of a mutually beneficial merger. This wonderful development brings together the strength of the Fragile brand with the energy and dynamism of the new Awaken project.
The Awaken band have now relaunched as FRAGILE with Steve Carney on Lead Vocals. Ollie Finn was an instrumental force in helping to get Awaken up and running and the members of Awaken/Fragile would like like pass their sincere thanks to Ollie for his help and support
