An Interview with Rick Wakeman and Other Stories, Diss, Norfolk - 22nd July 2013

Rick Wakeman, legendary keyboard player with prog-rock band Yes and pianist on David Bowie's "Life on Mars" (amongst many others) is interviewed in Amandine's Café in Diss for a new arts magazine run by one of Isobel's friends, and Nosher's there to take a few photos. Rick sociably belies his "grumpy old man" TV image as he tells of his interest in classic TV comedy "Dads Army", filmed locally near Thetford - as most of Perry and Croft's comedies were apparently filmed in and around Norfolk. Before and after this, there are a few garden activities including a probably-last-ever visit from Stephen and Gemma, prior to them leaving for the other side of the world, as well as the continuation of the demolition of the old 1958 asbestos garage.
