The Book of Genesis – The John Hackett Band

The Book of Genesis

Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate the early songs of the influential progressive rock band Genesis with leading UK tribute band The Book of Genesis, who faithfully recreate the 1970s progressive rock era complete with period musical instruments, fabulous costumes, an animated slide show, and excellent lighting.

“They perform with heart and soul, not a clinical reproduction but a nuanced and balanced representation of the original band during that period.” – Tony Colvil, The Progressive Aspect

The John Hackett Band

The John Hackett Band embodies the spirit of progressive rock. From John’s pastoral flute textures, through the funky interplay between drummer Duncan Parsons and bassist Jeremy Richardson to the intricacies of Nick Fletcher’s lead guitar the group embrace pop, rock, jazz, classical, funk and all stops in-between, from the tenderest of ballads to hair-raising instrumental workouts!

John has been a much-admired figure in the prog rock scene since the mid-70’s; best-known for his flute work with his brother, former Genesis guitarist, Steve Hackett on albums such as Voyage of The Acolyte, Sketches of Satie and Please Don’t Touch alongside his own solo albums.

“The band have never sounded better, and they are musically as tight as a drum skin at present.” – David Edwards, The Progressive Aspect – March 2024
