Yes Talk with guitarist Fernando Perdomo – 435

Fernando with Steve Hackett on the Cruise to the Edge<br /><br /><br /><br />Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier<br /><br /><br /><br />This week, Mark and I had a hugely enjoyable conversation with the amazing Fernando Perdomo. A long-term collaborator with a previous guest, Dave Kerzner, Fernando tells us about his fascination with Peter Banks, his work on the 50th Anniversary Yes tribute CD and his own music in the new Peter Banks continuation project, The New Empire whose album is out soon. Fernando has even given us permission to play a song from the new album exclusively here on the show so listen out for that later on - I’m sure you’ll agree it’s brilliant.<br /><br /><br /><br />Mark and I also had time to record our thoughts in a two pence segment about the rumours around the producer for the new Yes album. Hold on tight for that as well.<br /><br /><br /><br />Fernando in full flow<br /><br /><br /><br />* How does Peter Banks' style differ from Steve Howe's?* What drew Fernando to the music of Yes?* How is Fernando preserving the legacy of Peter Banks?<br /><br /><br /><br />Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!<br /><br /><br /><br />If you would like to support the Yes Music Podcast financially and also have access to exclusive activity and opportunities, there is a special page you can use to sign up and 2020 is the time to join us:<br /><br /><br /><br />Become a Patron!<br /><br /><br /><br />Why not get yourself one of these?
