                               May I980



Dear  Lee,

The month of May I980 has seen a most stunning and unexpected move
in regard to the members of 'YES', which we are all very excited
about.

Chris Squire, Steve Howe and Alan White have now been joined by
multi-keyboardist Geoff Downes and vocalist Trevor Horn, to become
the new I980's YES.  I have been down to the studio and what I have
heard so far is really sensational, it sounds like YES as they used
to be but with a total revitalisation by Trevor and Geoff.  If any
of you get a chance take a listen to the Buggles album 'The Age Of
Plastic', (which was Geoff and Trevor's band before they joined
YES), and hopefully like me, you will be able to hear something of
the strong combination, musically, that YES are now making with
Geoff and Trevor.  They are really working as a strong and unified
group, heading into the 80's with a very positive sound.

The tour schedule is still going ahead as planned, starting in the
States at the beginning of September, Europe about October and then
in England at the end of the year.

I am enclosing a photograph of the new band and as soon as I have
the new biography I will send one on to you.

We are still closely connected with Jon and Rick, and in fact Rick
has formed his own band called 'The Rick Wakeman Band', and they
are off on tour of Europe starting 22nd June, in Oslo.  He will be
touring England in September, and hopes to go to the States after
that.  Jon will be persuing his solo career, but he has not given
me any details yet.

I do hope that you feel as excited as we do.  I will look forward
to hearing from you in the near future, hopefully with some of
your comments and opinions about the new I980 YES.

Yours sincerely,

Fiona
