08.11.09 Weekend News Update

8 November 2009

Good weekend Genesis Fans!

There's quite a few bits of news this week.  We took a hiatus last week from the weekend news, as I wanted the information about Steve Hackett's latest release to get out to the wider Genesis public.  But now, it's time for updates!

PETER GABRIEL

Peter is beginning to get some major press notice for his new 'Scratch My Back' cover song project.  The BBC News site has an article, and more news direct from the source can be found over in the news area on Peter's own website. 

And, Peter continues to accumulate honours, this time from the Association of Professional Recording Services, along with Producer and former Yes member Trevor Horn.  Find the details about this by clicking this link. 

STEVE HACKETT

Speaking of Steve, as above, there are numerous articles appearing covering Steve's recent album release, and his present tour.  Read the articles by clicking here (this article has a "clever" pun in the title), here, Steve's appearance at the Wirral Guitar Festival merits an article here.  And a local Exeter paper talks about Steve and his tour in this article. 

DARYL STUERMER

Daryl has some upcoming gigs in January with his Genesis Rewired project.  An article in a local Wisconsin, USA paper appears here.  The former Musical Box tribute band member Martin Levac is also appearing with Daryl at these gigs. 

That's the news for this week!  More to come soon!
