PROGRESSIVE rock flute player, guitarist, keyboard player and singer John Hackett and his band play The 1865 this weekend.
John is best known for his work with his brother Steve Hackett, the former Genesis guitarist. Since 1975 he has recorded and toured with Steve in Europe, USA and Japan alongside a career as a solo flautist and session player.
He is joined by guitar virtuoso, Nick Fletcher, Duncan Parsons on drums and Jeremy Richardson on bass and vocals for the gig, on Sunday.
2019 saw the John Hackett Band make their European ‘live’ debut at Prog Dreams in Holland, alongside selected UK dates, featuring material from across John’s solo career, the critically acclaimed debut album from the John Hackett Band, We Are Not Alone and from the John Hackett-Nick Fletcher album Beyond The Stars (2018), both released by Esoteric Antenna.
The gig arranged for the 1865 in 2020 had to be cancelled because of Covid restrictions, so this will be their first visit since September 2019.
