Wakeman wrote a CD inspired by his visits to and experiences on Lundy, a small island in the Bristol Channel which was released originally in 1997 and then again in 1999.

He toured with Bob Catley in the UK and Europe and also guested on an Ayreon project The Human Equation in 2004.

Wakeman replaced keyboardist Herb Schildt for the American progressive rock band Starcastle, known for their Yes-like sound, at RoSfest (Rites of Spring festival) 2007.

During 2006 and 2007 Oliver took to the road with his band performing selections from his Mother's Ruin album as well as songs from his back catalogue.

In late 2007 this show was filmed and recorded in Poland and subsequently released in 2008 as a CD/DVD package and single DVD titled Coming To Town.

The tour continued throughout 2013, including a full band headline show at the Summer's End festival.

Oliver & Gordon also appeared with singer Paul Manzi on Bob Harris' BBC Radio 2 show in June 2013.

Following the completion of the Dark Fables project Wakeman began work on his latest album 'Anam Cara'.

A revamped In the Present Tour featuring Steve Howe, Chris Squire and Alan White of Yes plus Oliver Wakeman and Canadian singer Benoît David (filling in for Anderson) began in the fall of 2008 (under the moniker "Steve Howe, Chris Squire and Alan White of Yes"), and continued into 2009 (under the name "Yes").

Wakeman stayed on for the Rite of Spring tour (March to early April 2011) and formally left following its completion.
