Rick Wakeman MELANCHOLIA Unveiling, Signing & Auction

Don't miss out on the chance to see Rick Wakeman in person and own a piece of something truly special. Dive into the world of MELANCHOLIA with limited edition exclusive items up for grabs, alongside the original artwork itself, in the Auction.
Inspired by the title track of Rick Wakeman's 'Melancholia' piano album (released Oct 2025), the much sought after artist Crispin Sturrock painted an original expressionist 'Melancholia' masterpiece. Rick will be live in person, giving an interview about his own journey with mental health, his creative process and inspiration for his iconic music.
