The Watch
The Watch is from Milan and is known for their pure passion for Genesis. The voice of frontman Simone Rossetti is very similar to that of Peter Gabriel's. Under the name The Watch, the band also plays their own material alongside Genesis songs. During this show the band will mainly play songs from their third album "Vacuum" (2004). The band has played hundreds of shows over the years and is even embraced by Steve Hackett himself. Of course, some Genesis classics will not be missing.

John Hackett Band
When you mention the name Hackett, many will call out 'Steve', but the Hackett family has produced another musician that is at least as good, namely John Hackett. Steve's younger brother is a multi-instrumentalist, who plays guitar, bass and keys alongside the flute, his main instrument. He has a classical and jazz background, has been part of his brother's band and has worked with Anthony Phillips (Genesis), the English Flute Quartet, Westminster Camerata and was a member of the Symbiosis trio, with which he made so called ambient music. With his own band he makes a combination of progrock, folk, classic rock and jazz. He just produced an excellent new album, together with guitarist Nick Fletcher, entitled "Beyond The Stars".

Franck Carducci
Multi-instrumentalist Franck Carducci grew up in a family where music is a way of life. At the tender age of 5 he had his first encounter with a Hammond organ, later went on playing guitar and joined his first rock band when he was just 14 years old. After falling in love with bands like Pink Floyd and Genesis, he devoted himself to progressive rock.
