Baroque & Roll With Keyboard Wizard, Rick Wakeman

RICK WAKEMAN, the 'Grumpy Old Rockstar', songwriter, broadcaster and author best-known for keyboard wizardry and uniquely eccentric showmanship - not to mention capes - is confirmed as guest speaker at the 2015 Tom Olsen Lecture at the 'Journalists' Church' - St Bride's, Fleet Street, London on 5th October 2015.

The prestigious lecture, delivered annually in the autumn at Sir Christopher Wren's finest by a range of distinguished guests since its inception in 1991 - including Lord Rees-Mogg, Sir Oliver Popplewell, Sir David Attenborough, Miss Jane Asher, the Rt. Hon. Ann Widdecombe, the Hon. George Osborne and Nigel Farage MEP - is an important sell-out event on the St Bride's calendar.

'We are thrilled to welcome Rick Wakeman to speak this year about music, the music industry, technology and its consequences,' commented James Irving, Head of Operations at St Bride's.

'His passion and dedication to music across all genres over his fifty-year career at the top is known throughout the world. It is an honour to welcome such an important musician to the ranks of our illustrious Olsen lecture speaker list. We have had the piano tuned in preparation.'
