“Max Hunt was introduced to Bob Hagger & Clive Bayley of Mabel Greer's Toyshop in 2015 by Yes biographer Dave Watkinson, as MGT had reformed and were looking for a keyboard player for their next album. Max joined the band and played keyboards on and co-produced the second MGT album, The Secret.
Clive and Max have been working together on this project since 2018.
The album features founder member of the pre-Yes 60s band Mabel Greer's Toyshop, Clive Bayley, Fragile keyboard/bass player Max Hunt and drummer Jürgen Link.
Clive Bayley and Max Hunt have collaborated together to produce an album of highly original songs drawing on their combined experience with a dazzling variety of musical cultures/genres. 'Whispers' draws on diverse influences of classic and modern rock & pop, progressive rock and world music.
Clive Bayley is a founder member of the London based 60s pre-Yes band Mabel Greer's Toyshop. Clive founded the band with Bob Hagger in 1966 and, following a period of extreme creativity, MGT became Yes in 1968.

Max Hunt was born in 1966 (the year that Mabel Greer's Toyshop was founded!). Max learned classical piano from an early age and became a professional keyboard player at the age of 15. In 2001 Max joined Yes tribute band Fragile and toured the UK and Europe, including shows with Steve Howe & Alan White of Yes. Max has also worked with Jon Anderson, ex-Marillion singer Fish, Mick Jagger's brother Chris Jagger, well known children's TV presenter Johnny Ball, ex-Manfred Mann Earth Band singer/guitarist Chris Thompson, ex-Peter Maffay Guitarist Frank Diez, original Spencer Davies Group drummer Pete York and German rock-guitar maestro Siggi Schwarz.”
