Nolan & Wakeman Q&A

Here Oliver and Clive answer questions submitted from Twitter and Facebook regarding the new box set Tales By Gaslight
Press release
Oliver Wakeman reunites with Clive Nolan after 20 years to issue a 3CD Box Set - Tales By Gaslight featuring remastered versions of their ‘future prog classics’ Jabberwocky and The Hound Of The Baskervilles along with a new disc Dark Fables.
The Tales By Gaslight box set, comprising 3CDs each with a 16-page booklet and 3 individual Art prints of the three covers, is available from Burning Shed now at burningshed.com/store/oliverw...
Clive Nolan (Pendragon, Arena) and Oliver Wakeman (YES, Strawbs) first combined their considerable keyboard and compositional talents to create two rock opera/concept albums.
Jabberwocky, released in 1999, was based on the famous Lewis Carroll poem. It was followed by The Hound of The Baskervilles (2002), inspired by the Sherlock Holmes novel penned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The project was always intended to be a trilogy of musical interpretations of literary classics, but an album inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein was shelved because of a lack of record company funding.
This box set package also includes a third disc, featuring previously unreleased pieces that were intended to complete the trilogy. This third disc, Dark Fables, contains over 30 minutes of music conceived for the abandoned Frankenstein album.

I am sorry I wasn't able to support you with original release, I have never heard of this. But I was lucky enough to listen to your music for the first time not even a week ago and I absolutely love it. I am a huge fan of Arjen Lucasson and your music reminds me his style (which is amazing)... as I said, I wasn't able to support you back then, but I will definitely do it now!
Thank you
