Fragile are Europe's premiere Yes Tribute Band. Fragile do not only pay tribute to the music of Yes, but also promote continuing interest in this legendary classic rock band. Yes stand unique as enduring exponents of the original progressive rock scene, and their legacy to the genre is immense.

2005, with the release of their new 'Odds & Sods' CD and the significance of events surrounding Steve Howe's special guest appearance with Fragile on the 9th June, gave the band a huge boost in profile. Steve Howe's appearance with Fragile represented a major endorsement of the band and defined Fragile as something more than 'just a tribute'. The confidence that flowed from this experience was to impact massively on the quality of the band's performances for the rest of the year.

Fragile, the original European tribute to the music of the classic progressive rock band YES are due to perform at The Brook.

Fragile were the first band to perform a tribute to the music of YES in Europe and celebrated a decade in action in 2008. This year sees Fragile touring in their 12th year with a refreshing new show featuring a vast range of authentic arrangements of the most popular classic YES numbers including: Siberian Khatru, And You And I, Close to the Edge, Awaken, Wondrous Stories, Gates of Delirium (Soon), Yours is no Disgrace, Starship Trooper, Long Distance Runaround, The Fish, Roundabout, Owner Of A Lonely Heart and more.
