Title: Rick Wakeman at Hampton Court
Post by: L33VEY on January 01, 2009, 06:06:01 PM
Had to think about this one before buying my ticket and posting this one, but Rick's website recently announced that he'd be performing the "Six Wives" at Hampton Court in early May.

Follow the link if you're interested:

I know he's not everyone's favourite keyboard player and the tickets look a bit pricey, but he's the reason that I got into "prog" in the first place, and when I met him a few years ago he was a top bloke.  So I'm happy to top up his pension.

Togo (officially the Togolese Republic) is a narrow country in West Africa bordering Ghana to the west, Benin to the east and Burkina Faso to the north. It extends south to the Gulf of Guinea, on which the capital Lomé is located. The official language is French; however, there are many other languages spoken in Togo as well.

Togo's size is just under 57,000 km². It has a population of more than 6,100,000 people, which is dependent mainly on agriculture. The mild weather makes for good growing seasons. Togo is a sub-tropical, sub-Saharan nation.

Togo gained its independence from France in 1960. In 1967 Gnassingbé Eyadéma, the former leader of the country, led a successful military coup, after which he became President. Eyadéma was the longest serving leader in African history (after being president for 38 years) at the time of his death in 2005. In 2005, his son Faure Gnassingbé was elected president.

Agreed - there's no free biscuits at Hampton Court, plus a reasonable chance of getting raining on
