Hamill also worked with Yes guitarist Steve Howe on his 1979's The Steve Howe Album and appeared on Jon & Vangelis' The Friends Of Mr. Cairo in 1981, as well as tourng with Procol Harum, Jethro Tull and King Crimson. More recently Hamill had sung in the Yes covers band Fragile.
"There’s never been a better time to fall in love than now, explains Hammill of the new album, which was written during lockdown and features songs on all aspects of love and life. "I’m exploring the boundaries of my imagination and bringing together my thoughts and feelings in song form, to make sense of my life and my decisions. Maybe they’ll reflect some of yours too."
