A much-loved progressive rock band is set to perform in Swindon.
The John Hackett Band will take to the stage at the Swindon Arts Centre on September 18 as part of their autumn tour.
They can be bought from https://trafalgartickets.com/swindon-theatres/en-GB/event/music/john-hackett-band-with-special-guest-heather-findlay-tickets.
The band, which has been together for 10 years, is fronted by John Hackett, who has been a part of the progressive rock scene since the mid-70s.
He is 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.
The band will be joined by special guest Heather Findlay, the former lead singer of Mostly Autumn.
She will perform a set spanning her 30-year career and join the John Hackett Band for several songs.
Zoe Lett, from The Courier, said: "John Hackett Band delivered an eclectic, technically accomplished performance that embodied the core spirit of prog rock.
"It moved from lyrical flute passages to dynamic instrumental flourishes.
"Together, the band created a sound that was intricate and engaging, fusing elements of rock, jazz, classical, and funk, but never lost cohesion."
