Leading UK GENESIS Tribute Band

Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate the early songs of the influential progressive rock band Genesis with leading UK Genesis tribute band, The Book of Genesis, who faithfully recreate the 1970s era complete with period musical instruments, fabulous costumes, an animated slide show, and atmospheric synchronised lighting in a packed 3-hour show.

Nigel Betteridge (as Peter Gabriel/Phil Collins) has many years of experience singing the early Genesis songs. This coupled with the theatrical costumes and masks that Gabriel used (including “The Flower”, “Bat Wings”, “Magog”, “Crested Britannia” and more) makes for a truly dramatic performance;

Howard Boder (as Tony Banks) our classically trained keyboards maestro, has gone to a lot of trouble to re-create the early ‘Genesis/Banks’ keyboard sounds. Generous to a fault, Howard tells you how to get these vintage sounds on YouTube (now with over 99,000 hits);

Bob Arnold (as Steve Hackett) with his Les Paul Gold Top as his main instrument is a hard core devotee of Steve Hackett’s work (including both electric and acoustic repertoires) – marvelling at his jaw-dropping rendition of the Firth of Fifth solo is one of many highlights!

Kirk Watson (as Mike Rutherford) not only has a multi-instrumentalist role (‘Rickenbacker’ double neck-bass/12-string, bass guitar, bass pedals, 12 string acoustic guitar), but sings backing vocals too – his contribution is, quite simply, awesome!

Phildas Bhakta ‘The Orange Turbaned Drummer’ (as Phil Collins) is our highly accomplished Swiss percussionist. Inspired by Phil Collins, from when she first started playing drums, she is a stickler for reproducing his work accurately, and her fans love it!

2017 has been a successful year seeing the band touring both in the UK (including Charterhouse School – where Genesis formed) and in Europe (The Gamla, Oslo, Norway, and ’t Blok, Nieuwerkerk a/d Ijssel (Rotterdam), The Netherlands).
