The Story of the Book
Recreation of Genesis live, live!
The Book of Genesis focus on the "classic" Gabriel/Hackett period of Genesis from Trespass to Wind & Wuthering albums.
We offer a fully costumed show featuring all the classic Gabriel era costumes which turns a show into a theatrical "event".
This is supplemented with synchronised slides video, and lighting.
We also play themed shows such as performing the whole of the "Genesis Live album" or the "Six of the Best" set list .
We include the early era favourites and some variety for the rest of the 3 hour show including one or two surprises.
