FRAGILE

About Me

FRAGILE are a well established UK based band that perform the classic and timeless music of YES. The band celebrated a decade in action in 2008 and comprises of a group of highly talented and experienced individuals who have a love and deep respect of YES music.

Band members have all left their individual mark on the music scene in a variety of projects including work with Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Peter Banks, Fish, Marillion, Voyager, Don Airey, Bernie Marsden's Alaska and more.

The band have performed throughout the UK, Finland, Belgium, Holland and Switzerland including the series of now legendary shows with celebrated YES and ASIA guitarist Steve Howe in 2005,6 & 7.

FRAGILE are pleased to announce two new members, they are Chris Hook (Bass,Vocals) and Johnny Marter (Drums, Vocals). Johnny & Chris worked together in VOYAGER including the release of hit single Halfway Hotel in 1979.

Following a couple of warm up dates early this year, in March the band appeared on the UK 'Richard & Judy New Position' prime-time TV show with Rick Wakeman, Roger Dean and Rowland Rivron and will also be performing with a very special high profile guest at the Mathew Street Festival in Liverpool this August. We'll have more news about this soon.

Check out our blogs for more info about the band and our plans.

Fragile owe a huge debt of gratitude to YES, without whom this amazing voyage could never have happened!
