Reviews 2008... Acorn Arts Centre - Cornwall Cheese & Grain - Somerset Steve Richardson: 12 March - Once again i set of to see my favorite band G2 down at Frome and as aways it was a great gig. After a few minor problems with the sound early on down to a temperamental pa system i believe, the boys came up with fantastic set with all the classic Genesis songs from the early years. Suppers Ready, Cinema show, The Lamb, just to name a few, over two hours of vintage tracks it was a great night. If you have not seen the band before and you are Genesis or prog rock fans can i urge you all to get down to Marlborough on March 29th and see these boys live you will not be disapointed, and they will not play at a better venue for sound and veiw as i have seen many gigs there and it is superb. Steve Richardson Customs House - South Shields Memorial Hall - Marlborough College Andrew Galliver: 31 March - Dear G2, thanks for that superb performance at Marlborough on Saturday night, we had a great time and will see you again...at Marlborough? Andrew. Heather Richards: 01 April - Just to say a big thank to all the guys, both on and off stage, for a fabulous evening at Marlborough on Saturday. What a fantastic venue! It is always such a pleasure to see you play and watching you all set up in the interval made me appreciate even more the hard work you all put in. Thank you for keeping it LIVE! Keep up the good work! Hebsy Paul Chandler: 01 April - I cannot begin to describe how special Saturday was! It was always going to be a logistical nightmare getting both bands set up. Seeing Chris go to the rescue of Tony's bass strap just about summed up the atmosphere of the whole day. The band members and the crew worked so well together to get it ready on time. Example: Jeff was helping Steve put his drum kit back in place after the G2 sound check, Piers was helping Tom make final adjustments, Paolo and Dave were helping sort out the problem with Steve's synthesized percussion. I could go on. Lee is an absolute genius and he worked very hard all day stopping only very briefly for pizza. I don't think I have ever worked with such a great bunch of guys. Thanks again and I hope to see you all again soon. Steve Richardson: 01 April - Hi Dave, it was great to finally meet you and the rest of the boys after seeing your gigs so many times. Although I was completely knackered when I got in I really enjoyed the day. It was a real eye opener to see the G2 monster in all its glory. I'm sure the fans don't realise the hours you guys put in for the love of your music. It was very obvious to me that the buzz for you guys is playing the music to a live audience shouting for more at the end, than any financial gain which I'm sure doesn't go far for the hours you put in. Piers kindly showed me the intro of the lamb in slow motion to see if it would help me (I think its above my limited skills) and all the guys were so welcoming. All the best, Steve Mr Kyps - Poole Trevor Farrow: 25 February - Cheers for the show @ Mr Kyps last night. Great show as always and a power out in Supper to boot, but it showed the calm, relaxed professionalism that Terry/Chris can banter through an upset and then you pick up and go again. I believe it was the end of a 3 night "mini tour" and although Terry seemed to be visibly struggling (cough-sweets, hot drink and water), I thought it was possibly the best vocal performance I have seen him give, he gets better with every show!, so please pass on a well done... Particularly enjoyed hearing a couple of tracks I have not heard you do before (In the Cage, Musical Box finale &???? I didn't know the track Terry introduced as "we don't know how to play"). What was it please? Looking forward to the THE BROOK in Sept, all the hard work is truly appreciated. Trevor Farrow Stephen Leitch: 26 February - Hi dave many thanks to you and the rest of the G2 crew for a very interesting and entertaining Sunday after two days on the road and a very long drive down from wales most of you looked fit to drop let alone set up and play another gig but as usual you found the energy and enthusiasm to perform yet another superb gig without any problems apart from the moment when you lost power towards the end of suppers ready ! how that must have really annoyed you but no with the true passion and commitment you guys give to playing you went on an finished the number incredible. I know piers and terry asked me to choose the set list but I couldn’t have written it better myself all the old favourites were in there particulary enjoyed cinema show that’s apart from suppers ready an all time classic enjoyed by all. It’s the first time that ive been behind the scenes at a gig and now when I get to see yourselves perform or any other band I can truly appreciate the hard work time and effort that goes into putting on a show you attention to detail was immense and I must thank Paolo and the 2 Daves for their very professional way they went about their work. I know its you guys up front that get the applause but these guys are the unsung heros of G2 I know it was the first time that you played this venue and you must have been pleased with the turnout if was a Friday or Saturday you would have sold out im sure. Any way good luck for Birkenhead and Sheffield and many thanks again to Colin Davies for the Chinese and a big big thankyou to all of the rest of the G2 crew for making myself and my mate Steve feel really welcome (hope we didn’t get in the way to much), Steve leitch Dave Procter: 26 February - Fantastic set at Kyps on Sunday - make sure to come back, full house next time for sure. Dave Procter Dave Moore: 26 February - Dear G2 boys, What an excellent night at the Kyps! A faultless set and performance throughout. Very enjoyable indeed. Will look forward to the Brook in September. Cheers Dave Moore Kevin Moran: 23 March - Just wanted to say I was at your show at Mr Kyps in Poole recently and all I can say is YES you did get it right!! Right from the start of Watcher of the Skies until the end I was very impressed, even when the light went out towards the end of ‘Suppers Ready’ you did not loose it. Looking forward to another show... Cheers, Kevin Pacific Road Arts Centre - Birkenhead Martin: 01 March - Guys, just a short mail to say "cheers" for a really top gig at Birkenhead last night - awesome stuff!! Looking forward to your return in November - keep up the good work!!! Cheers, Martin Paul Reay: 02 March - Great Gig, all the classic Genesis oldies, what a rockin night. Look forward to seeing you southern softies next time round. Thanks, Paul Steve Edwards: 03 March - Dave, what a night!!! I went along with 8 other friends last Fri night to Pacific Rd in Birkenhead to see you and the rest of the band. What a great night. Afterglow, Ripples and Los Endos and Dance on a Volcano all brilliant. That’s without considering the earlier tracks of Blood on The Rooftops and Suppers Ready and Cinema Show. We all stood around afterwards chatting about how good you all where. In fact over the course of the weekend as we met each other all we could do was mention how much we enjoyed the show. So I understand from your reaction to the crowd that you really like Pacific Rd as a venue. It’s great isn’t it? In answer to your flyer concerning a forthcoming concert with the playlist of “Trick of the Tail” & “Wind & Wuthering”. We are all very interested. Will you be coming back to Pacific Rd? If you do I know of at least another half dozen folk who would love to come with us to see you. Anyway once again thanks to the band for a great night. Regards, Steve. Peter: 04 March - Gentlemen WHAT A SUPERB EVENING’S ENTERTAINMENT!!! I refer to the concert last Friday in Birkenhead, my only regret being that the place wasn’t packed out to witness such a show. I saw you in Stoke last year but last week was so much better despite slight problems with the sound. I first saw Genesis in 1970 supporting Lindisfarne at the Top Rank in Liverpool and have been an avid fan ever since seeing them over 30 times spanning now 37 years (with a bit of a break since the Calling All Stations tour ). It was wonderful to see such talented musicians play some of my favourite tunes of all time, especially Suppers Ready, and I cannot wait until November when you are due back at the same venue. My nephew, who came with me, wasn’t alive in 1970 and is really cheesed off that he has never seen the “proper” line up (he did go to see the group in Manchester last year though) perform stuff like Watcher of the skies which he thought was immense. Once again many thanks and I look forward to seeing you again soon. All the very best for the future and please do Suppers Ready in between Trick of the Tail & Wind & Wuthering, or as the encore. Peter Way-Rider James Davies: 05 March - HI I SAW YOUR GIG AT THE PACIFIC ROAD BIRKENHEAD AND YOU JUST BLEW ME AND THE FRIEND WAS WITH AWAY. THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE SEE YOUR SHOW AND IT WAS FANTASTIC YOU JUST BROUGHT TO LIFE THE MUSIC OF GENESIS. THE CROWD REALLY ENJOYED THE GIG TOO I THINK NEXT TIME YOU PLAY THE WORD WILL GET ROUND HOW GOOD THE SHOW IS AND THE CROWD WILL BE MUCH BIGGER. THANK YOU FOR A GREAT SHOW SEE YOU NEXT TIME. JIMMY. Nick Chadwick: 05 March - Guys, Saw your Birkenhead gig. Absolutely suberb. Ive got to say I enjoyed it more than our friends who appeared at Old Trafford as part of their comeback last summer. The planned autumn show sounds great. Please come back to Birkenhead as promised. Im sure the turn out will be even better. Regards Nick. John Spargo: 07 March - Hi Guys, A couple of years ago I went to see you guys at Cannock. Nothing unusual about that, except for the fact that I had to drive 300 miles to get there, and another 300 to get back. Was it worth the journey? - aboslutely! Thought you were perfect! Great sound, great musicianship all round, great music. That gig couldn't be bettered I thought. I promised myself another trip if you guys ever played north of Birmingham again. It's only a 400 mile round trip to Birkenhead. I didn't think it was possible, but somehow you managed to top the Cannock show. I was completely bowled over. I can't thank you enough for recreating this beautiful music. It's breathtaking! I play guitar myself, and used to be a drummer. I've played keyboards too in my youth, but you guys are in a different league. Every one of you. Keep it up, and see you in Wearside in July. The hairs on the back of my neck should have just about stopped standing on end by then. PS - great set list too! Inside and Out was a real surprise and a treat! Best regards, John Spargo. Helen Worster: 27 March - Greetings! It has taken me a few weeks to get round to this but still just wanted to say how much I loved the concert at Pacific Road Birkenhead. It was well worth the trip up from Portsmouth and it was lovely to meet you guys albeit briefly! The show was absolutely fantastic and the atmosphere was so warm and friendly - Northerners!! I had been telling Neil about you since I started to see you at The Brook and it has been great to share in his excitement putting the concert on. We have been reliving the memories this evening! Hoping to try to get to Marlborough but if not will wait patiently to see you all at The Brook later in the year. Many thanks for providing so much entertainment for so many people. Blessings, Helen. Phil Hughes: 03 April - Hi chaps, Sorry for the delay, but had to tell you how much we enjoyed your concert at Pacific Road, Birkenhead. Wonderful musicianship and fabulous set list. My friend (fanatical Genesis fan and tour veteran since the early 70s) had come over from Bakewell in Derbyshire and was absolutely blown away too. What a great night. Hope you’re serious about coming back to Pacific Road in November – we’ll be first in the line for tickets! Keep up the good work – you guys are absolutely brilliant. Cheers, Phil. Riga Music Bar - Westcliff on Sea Joe Cleavely: 12 April - helllo again!!! well its the morning after the riga gig and im still buzzing a fantastic gig again gentlemen!!! entangled and ripples were super suppers ready was even better and los endos well what can i say im speechless!!! thanks again for playing the music of the greatest band on the planet!!! thanks again joe p.s never forget about essex keep coming back!!! Guy Venables: 12 April - great show at the riga last night, cheers. Louise DuCarey: 13 April - Hi guys. Once again thank you for a great night out at the Riga Bar and only 30 minutes drive this time to see you. After seeing you at Milton Keynes (shouting out supper’s ready) and last year at Charterhouse (unfortunately at the back), I could not wait to see you all again at the Riga bar. I spoke to you both briefly at the end of your gig (lady who was a little drunk but was so happy to be able to talk to you and tell you how much I enjoyed your music etc ) I just hope I never embarrassed myself Opps! I get lost in your music and then back to reality the next day (work yuk!), but then I will see you all again at Otford Memorial Hall in Sevenoaks in 2 weeks time. Hope I don’t get there too late as I will end up at the back and I am only little ha ha. I have just booked tickets to see you all again in July in Milton Keynes (2nd row). Until then I am looking forward to seeing you again in 2 weeks time for another wicked night out. Louise X. Rob: 14 April - Hi Dave, It was great to see you all again at Riga. I know the smaller venues do not show the maximum effect of your performance but it's all we have in Southend! As ever, the set was spellbinding, all the favourite classics and did we get our money's worth or what. I was hoping to get to see Genesis at Twickenham, but from what I have heard we were better off seeing yourselves for the real experience. You capture the period so well. I sincerely hope the effort is all worth while for you all, you deserve it. Please come back again, don't desert us! My best to all the band and team, Rob (Chalice, Southend's prog rock band) Dave Mac: 15 April - Many too many have stood where I stand and we hope to stand there many more times too. So the boys were back in (my) town and we had waited since Charterhouse for this day to arrive - and for The Riga it was packed, quite a result as there was very little local advertising that we could see. Another milestone for Bekki as Twickenham was the real thing and Charterhouse was unique; now she was able to witness, and at very close quarters, why we follow G2 - as we always do at this venue, we made our camp as close to the stage as we could without being on it - which I'm sure will happen one day - especially as I know how much Terry and Dave appreciated our guide vocals to Carpet Crawl. The atmosphere usually builds with The Lamb loop, providing us with the feel and mood for the evening; I say usually because there was something wrong tonight (tonight, tonight) which I choose to believe the blame should be on The Riga's shoulders. The set list, as always, was pure what we want to hear - which is why we are here - I know John would like more PG era contributions but he doesn't allow that fact to detract from the fact that he knows these guys are good - personally the second phase of Genesis is where my heart lies (but if the heart lies - what then?) I think I may have seen G2 more than Genesis now - and as familiar with them as I feel now marking them out of ten doesn't feel quite right anymore. With my classical guitar learning and background Chris is always going to get my admiration, if nothing else for making me wish I never gave up. Piers just seems to be getting better and better' Firth intro is just to easy now, I challenge him (and the boys) to master Mad Man Moon - live! Dave's bass, as I was so close to it this time, as always was the spine of the show - surprising how insensitive those pedals seem to be or are they polyphonic? Jeff, he's even better when he is blinded by the light - and it hurts! Terry, with our support and the balance sorted out you made it - we just wanna hear you more m8. A great night, as always and more of you should come with us and support our past. Dave Mac. Paul: 16 April - Hi Guys, Saw you last Friday at Club Riga in Southend and just like to thank you for an absolutely fantastic, musically perfect show and it made a change to see a show that wasn't so loud it made ya ears ring for the next 3 days. This was the second time I've see you guys and brought along a mate who I kept telling that you were brilliant and you didn't let me down - in fact I enjoyed it better than a real Genesis gig (as you played all my favourite "old" stuff rather than the newer commercial stuff). You are a credit to your profession and worth EVERY single penny of the £10 entrance fee. Well done for bringing perfectly played classic rock to very appreciative fans - keep up the great work and PLEASE come back to Essex soon as can't wait to see you again. Regards Paul Thwaites Anne & Joanne: 22 April - Saw you in Southend the other Friday, you were awesome, get better each time we see you, look forward to when you are back here again,love, Ann and Joanne Robin 2 - Bilston - West Midlands Ged Hayes: 20 April - Hi Dave, I managed to get down to the Robin last night but couldn't hang around after to say hello. I needed to get back after being up from 5 in the morning for a shift at work. Having said all that it was another magnificent gig last night and please pass on my thanks to the rest of the G2 collective for their efforts. Brilliant. I was glad I could make it last night after disappointingly missing the two gigs you did 'oop north' recently at Sheffield and Birkenhead. Although I'm very much lighter in the pocket because of the price of bloody petrol these days it was well worth the trip. I shouldn't nitpick because it was a brilliant atmosphere but I was a little put off by the crowd at times. I struggled to hear some of the subtleties and intricate details you can get with the music of Genesis against a background of a few hundred people bellowing in my ears behind me. But who am I to argue against such a great turn out, as long as they all enjoyed it. Anyway, hopefully we'll see you all again very soon in a more convivial setting somewhere close by. Bolton perhaps?,.... Moses Gate? Where it all started for me,... who knows? Thanks again for a fantastic night. Ged Heather Richards: 20 April - A big thank you to ALL the guys for a fabulous time at The Robin last night. I always love to see you play, but up close and loud is the way I like it best. As ever, if there is anything I can do to keep the G2 monster going - just ask! Hebsy. Steve Hammond: 21 April - Hello David, I just wanted to thank you, Terry, Chris, Jeff, Piers, Paulo and the 2 other Daves' for everything last Saturday. I know that you had a late arrival and a shortened soundcheck but I did enjoy seeing things build up from a bare stage and chatting a little with most of you. It was great to hear Chris playing while everyone else was busy setting up. The show itself was amazing, as they all have been for me for some time now. I liked the setlist changes, hearing the Blood Suite at the end of the show was a nice change and to hear Inside and Out played live again after 31 years was a treat. I've run out of adjectives to describe the band's performances but believe me, we are all priviliged to still be hearing this marvellous music being played live, so passionately and so well. It's also nice to have met so many good people through following the band. Finally, thanks to Terry for the ad hoc dedication for Richard's teacher. She really appreciated that and is a big fan herself. Looking forward to repeating the experience soon. Thanks again, Steve, Julie and Rich Jonathan Davis: 23 April - Hi guys, Just wanted to drop you a line to say how much I enjoyed the concert at the Robin last weekend. I last saw Genesis at Drury Lane in 1980, and your show took me right back there. Really hope that you can keep the good work, and I'm already looking forward to seeing you again whenever you are back in this neck of the woods! Cheers Jon Sala Heineken - Madrid Javier: 31 January - From Madrid, Thanks a lot for the wonderfull concert of 29th. Please keep me informed about your next visit to Spain: I won't miss it and for sure we wil be more people!!! Hopping see you again soon. Javier Ruiz-Larrea Theatr Brycheiniog - Brecon - Powys Mark: 24 February - Went to the brecon show last night and it was awesome - not a bad track played. The musicianship was excellent especially the introduction to firth of fifth and Terrys singing was first rate. Please return to south wales asap as it is the only chance to here most of these fantastic songs live. Keep up the good work G2. Regards, Mark Davies Richard Davis: 25 February - Thank you Gentlemen for another superb show and thanks for coming to Brecon again even though I had to wait far too long between tours to see you again. What can I say? You are truly fantastic musicians who pay great attention to detail and time getting the sounds spot on. I was greatly entertained and marvelled at the accuracy of the keyboard sounds to the original. The brilliant guitar sounds and playing. The detail of the bass playing and the inexhaustible drumming. I could go on and praise more but there's no need. It's all been said before. Just remember guys like you are much appreciated. Please come to Hereford as it would save me an 80 mile round trip. Richard Davis Darren Brook: 19 March - Hi Guys, saw you recently at the Brynceiniog Theatre Brecon (after my first gig at Charterhouse last year...which was excellent by the way!). Just wondered if you had considered doing a gig at a venue in Cardiff call the point. It seems to be getting to be a popular venue and I'm sure you could get a good crowd in. All the best, Darren The Boardwalk - Sheffield Jeremy Foulds: 02 March - First visit to a G2 gig. Fantastic night. Amazing to hear a number of tracks that I hadn't heard live before e.g. Entangled. A wonderful night so many, many thanks. Jeremy Alan Clarke: 03 March - Did Sheffield, thought you were all on top form. G2 now twice ReGenesis 4 or 5 times, keep together, Alan. Shaun Case: 05 March - Hi, just want to say what a fantastic gig it was on Saturday night. Having seen the band quite a few times in the last few years I thought I knew what to expect! How wrong I was. Felt sorry for Terry having to croak through the show but it didn't come out too bad. I have to say the show blew me and my son away. Having seen you only in halls before, I wondered how your show would translate to the smaller venues. I needn't have worried. From the very first note through to the cracking finale, the gig was first class. The sound seemed much rawer than usual (maybe the venues, smaller confines but this only added to the atmosphere. Suppers Ready was the best I've ever heard the song, even by Genesis. The band were obviously enjoyed themselves on stage and this came over. Piers seemed to be the butt of most of their wisecracks! G2 have to be the ultimate Genesis tribute band. You play with such enthusiasm and skill, obviously enjoying ever note that you play. My son, who first saw you when he was 11, celebrated seeing his 16th birthday on Saturday and sends his thanks for such a great birthday present - the best G2/Genesis gig he's attended. Shaun Case Cundy: 11 March - Fantastic gig at the Boardwalk 1st of March. You have now actually turned me onto the early Collins' stuff. Great listening. Fantastic stories, well illustrated by an amazing band. If you don't remember I was the intoxicated youth who rambled on about those bloody great Moog Pedals. Thanks, Cundy. The Brook - Southampton The Stables - Milton Keynes The Wharf - Devon Village Memorial Hall - Otford - Kent Louise DuCarey: 27 April - Hi there me again, Louise. I am beginning to feel like a G2 Groupie. I got the T- Shirt, the signed G2 poster and the signed double CD I won when auctioned last night, all I need is the book? Does that sound sad? Hope not? I woke up this morning to the reality that my evening in Oftord watching G2 live, really had come to an end. I only saw you guys 2 weeks ago and you were even better still, just when I thought you couldn’t get any better than that. I am now having too re-live the experience playing my CD’s in the car until the next one. It is magical for me to see and hear you guys every gig I go to and enjoy speaking to the other fans after about how good you all are. The whole band was absolutely brilliant and Terry sung his heart out to the max. Just wish the night wouldn’t end sometimes as I enjoy myself so much. I have tickets for your shows in Milton Keynes and for High Wycombe but after that I will not see you at for a long while as the rest of the dates are a little far away. I hope you add some more dates that are not to far away. Once again thank you for a great night. Jon Vowles: 28 April - Well done for Otford! Quite different from the sit down jobs over the last few years. Great atmosphere. Sound did well in a small area. Lucky lots of people were there to absorb! Must have been hell a the sound check! Inside and Out a great surprise addition! Really full set without a break, well done. Cheers Jon Nader Sheta: 28 April - Dear G2 I was at the concert at Otford last Saturday. I have been to many concerts and seen Genesis many times. This was my first G2 concert and I was absolutely blown away by it, well done you were terrific. When you finished Supper’s Ready I thought that would be it…I couldn’t believe that you went on and played so much more! I particularly liked the Blood on the rooftops section, very good. When are you next playing around London? Many thanks again for a great night. Nader. Derek Tozer: 02 May - went to the otford gig last sat, great show as usual lads keep up the good work. Alan Smith: 06 May - I saw you at Otford recently and loved every minute (as did my mate). I've always regretted not being able to see Genesis live in that period but costumes aside that must have been very close to what it was like. It was great to hear some tracks live for the first time, eg from W&W, and I was truly in 7th heaven! I don't know how much you vary the set list but it would be great to hear a bit more from NC and Trick. You were all great and the standard of playing was very high. It really is very interesting music, very intricate in places and to hear it played so well and with obvious love and attention to detail was fantastic. As you said, it's music that deserves to be kept alive. Plse keep going - I shall certainly be seeing you again soon......I saw Genesis at Twickenham last year and you were 10 times better! All the best, Alan. Greer Calvert: 10 May - Hi guys, Sorry for being a few weeks late in getting this to you. Of course I loved every minute as usual and I liked the venue. I managed to drag along my wife for the 2nd time, and this time a daughter + boyfriend...he said he really enjoyed it, and I believed him (not too convinced about mum & daughter though!). He didn't know any of the material being more familiar with more recent Genesis stuff. I wonder if he's intrigued enough to want to see you again...my cunning plan is to wait until he raises the subject! See you at Charterhouse, Greer Wycombe Swan - High Wycombe Steve Puddick: 24th May - Last night @ HW was one of the the best sets and shows I have seen the band do, they were simply awesome / majestic and the honest opinion of my little group of Genesis fanatics is that we would rather have been there then Twickenham. Anyone not seen G2 must get off their collective butts and head for the nearest show, simply brilliant!!!! Great / intimate / friendly venue with a large and enthusiastic crowd (350/400 'ish) topped by a simply wonderful band!!! What a fab night we had, better buy my charterhouse tickets now!!! Mark Thomas: 24 May - I really enjoyed the gig yesterday and was astonished that you did 2 numbers I had never heard (the e.p. no and part of the encore). What were they and what are they from? I went with a friend from way back who I hadn’t seen for 20 years but I tracked him down just because of your gig. It turned out he had seen Genesis over 70 times (for example all 3 nights at Drury Lane in 1974 – I only went one night!). I had forgotten how big a fan he was and the interest continues up until Twickenham this year. He was extremely impressed and wants to make future dates. We will organise another old friend who saw Genesis at least 20 times (and interviewed them for a Slough mag in 1971) for later gigs in the year (MK & Southampton are both within reach and Charterhouse looks fascinating). Anyway, many thanks for a great evening and for taking the time to reply and do a song at my request. It is most appreciated. Regards, Mark Nigel Smith: 27 May - Hi guys. Great show in Wycombe, even though Piers fluffed the Firth Of Fifth intro. Thanks also for keeping your promise and playing Deep In The Motherlode. Regards, Nigel. Heather Richards: 29 May - Slightly delayed, but still heartfelt thanks for a fabulous night at The Swan. My first visit to High Wycombe - such a great place and what a fantastic audience (don't think I've seen you get a standing ovation in the middle of the set before!) I loved the set changes and can't wait to hear you play the remaining tracks from Trick and Wind. How long until we're treated to both albums in full? Not too long I hope. So, was it worth a 3 hour drive to get there? No question - of course it was! Many many thanks, as always, Hebsy Stephen Leitch: 29 May - Just as you thought G2 couldn't’t get any better you did what a great night travelled up from Southampton with 4 friends of mine who until that night had never seen G2 they certainly weren't disappointed! Had to listen to you guys again on the journey back as they all thought that you were better than genesis themselves. I thought that the new set that you performed was great it was really refreshing to hear old classics such as entangled, ripples and squonk to name a few and I'm really glad you didn't drop suppers ready what a way to open up the second half of the set. Poor old piers what can I say I've seen and listened to you many times and that’s the first time he's messed up the intro to firth but still he carried on in his normal cool calm manner that guy is so laid back! And what a musician. Perhaps he was having a john terry moment or was it to much whiskey! A big thank you must also go to the two Dave's and Paulo as the acoustics and lighting were superb. Unfortunately can't make any more gigs until the brook {have already got tickets for charterhouse] so until then enjoy the rest of your gigs and the summer. Steve Leitch Anthony Williams: 31 May - Hi David, A friend of mine introduced me to G2 and I went to see them recently at Wycombe and was blown away with the quality of their music. They were far better than i had ever expected. Being a real Genesis purist myself, I absolutely adore the early stuff ,I was sceptical that a tribute band would not be able to recreate the unique music. But they do it so well. Really looking forward to Charterhouse in November. Ant Williams Bits'n'Bobs Tony Sutton: 03 January - Guys, travelled up to Milton Keynes to see you last year - and so so glad I did! Great to see you've managed to get a booking (at last!) at the Swan Theatre in my home town of Wycombe (well, I say home town I'm actually a yorkshre exile!). Just wondering if my son, who'll be all of 6 months would be a little too young to be introduced to you guys! See you in May! Regards, Tony Malcolm Calder: 21 February - Hi Guys, you are the very best tribute band that we have seen and we've seen a few. Always like to hear the old stuff from Seconds Out, including Suppers Ready, but your set from Wind and Wuthering etc is great (your CD disc 1 is favourite in-car play!). Saw your last gig at The Brook, similar size, absolute knockout. Look forward to further announcements from you; PLEASE DON'T KNOCK IT ON THE HEAD! Regards, Malcolm Calder (mate of the guy who tried to sell you a ticket to your own gig at Epsom Playhouse!) |
