Trading Boundaries, the Sussex home of world furniture, amazing food and live music, is delighted to announce an exclusive art exhibition, showcasing both iconic and unseen works of internationally acclaimed artist, Roger Dean. The exhibition, which will run from November 4th – 18th, will take place within the main building at Trading Boundaries and will be launched on Saturday 3rd November by 'An Intimate Evening with Roger Dean and Rick Wakeman' which will feature an acoustic set of live music that has been the soundtrack to a great deal of Roger’s work. This is a rare opportunity to hear the celebrated artist talk about his career and his work with such iconic bands as YES and Asia and will be the ONLY occasion he has shared the stage with Rick Wakeman. These two engaging raconteurs will relate fascinating anecdotes of their shared history and combined work projects. This is a unique opportunity for fans and collectors alike to witness this extraordinary combination of talent. A very limited number of tickets will be available to purchase. Roger Dean will be unveiling new works during the exhibition, including a new album cover of which details are yet to be released. To compliment the exhibition, world-class YES tribute band YESSONGS ITALY will be making their UK debut on November 10th, followed by prog rock legends Focus, who are scheduled to perform at this unique music venue on Friday 16th November 2011.
