I’ve amassed a collection of around 600 and I’m very fond of this one by the pen manufacturer André Philippe, which I bought in Budapest. It’s so much more satisfying writing with one rather than with a ballpoint pen. I’ve been collecting fountain pens since the 1970s when I was given one for Christmas. I had it made for me in America during my days with the band Yes. The capes helped keep my limbs under control! They’ve since become synonymous with my shows and this is my favourite. I’ve worn them since the early 1970s after a critic said that as I played the keyboards during a gig with my arms and legs flying about I looked like ‘a demented spider’. When I play live, I still like to wear a cape. I record my albums in this converted 18th-century barn near my house.
