Oliver Wakeman joins us once again for another Yesshift interview! He has been up to A LOT. He took part in The Other Coronation Concert in May, he's been working on an album titled Anam Cara, and he'll be performing material from Yes' From a Page and more at the Summer's End Festival this autumn. Check out the conversation! NOTE: Dan's mic isn't working for the beginning, but his comments are very spaced apart and you can still hear Steven and Oliver. Dan's first audible comment is about 17 minutes in, and there's also a moment 5 minutes in where Oliver's screen freezes, but just be patient, as the whole interview is worth checking out.
