The John Hackett Band with special guest Heather Findlay

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, Please Don’t Touch and Spectral Mornings as well as his own solo pieces Checking Out Of London, Another Life and The Piper Plays His Tune.
Described by Steve Hackett as “probably the best jazz-rock guitarist in the country”, Nick Fletcher’s reputation grows and grows. Unforgettable performances with JHB plus a slew of solo albums have seen him ranked in the Top 10 guitarists by Prog Magazine.
The band is known for its sensitive and dynamic collaborations and are delighted to be sharing the stage with such diverse and imaginative talents as Heather Findlay, Olga Dikajee, and EBB.
Heather Findlay
Known for her magical, evocative voice and an ability to interpret and inhabit a range of styles with a mix of power and feeling, Heather Findlay is one of the finest vocalists working in music today. Prog magazine lauded her, “Deliciously sultry vocals”, whilst Maverick magazine hailed her, “Pure, crystalline voice. She grabs your heart in an almost vice-like grip”.
