A rare sighting of the band in East Sussex and delighted to be joined by Olga Dikajee for this performance!
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 Hackett has been a much-loved and admired figure in the progressive 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 Checking Out Of London, Another Life and The Piper Plays His Tune
“Nick Fletcher is probably the best jazz rock guitarist in the country. His fluency is astounding, plus he possesses a first-rate classical guitar technique to boot! I consider Nick Fletcher to be an absolute star” Steve Hackett
“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

Singer/songwriter DIKAJEE has shared her voice on stages across the globe with some well-famed names. Her voice, which often pays homage to a multitude of genres from different eras, has captured the attention of other similar-minded musicians such as Fiona Rüggeberg (FAUN), Guillaume Bernard (KLONE), and ARTIS ORUBS (ERIK TRUFFAZ).
Now the artist works as a collaborative effort with the aforementioned to showcase the weavings of folk, neo-baroque, neoclassical, progressive rock, and more with her new album Forget~Me~Nots (2021), which received many positive reviews from music magazines around Europe, UK and USA; Dikajee became #4 Vocalist Of The Year at Prog Readers Poll, and single "Lily Of The Valley" was released on "The Best Of Metal Hammer 2021" official CD.
In 2023 Dikajee received a Global Talent Visa, moved to the UK and is currently working on her new album. New album The Frame is slated for release in late 2025.
