The Moody Blues sold 70 million albums worldwide, with 18 platinum and gold LPs. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.

The album reached No. 1 on the UK album chart and stayed at No. 2 for three weeks in the US.

His Spirits Of The Western Sky (2013) was followed by DVD Spirits…Live, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Video chart. All The Way followed - a compilation of solo work and live cuts. In 2020, Justin took to YouTube for the Tuesday Afternoon Video Series: this led to the digital album Tuesday Afternoons: The Audio Files. In 2021 he released One Summer Day and My Juliette, and Living For Love in 2022. In 2025 he released Life In A Northern Town with Mike Batt.

Steve Hackett - Best of Genesis & Solo Gems
From:10-10-2026
To:10-10-2026
+ More Info +

Steve Hackett ’s timeless guitar-work was woven throughout Genesis’ classic 70’s catalogue of albums. In recent years he and his outstanding touring line-up of Nad Sylvan (vocals), Jonas Reingold (bass, backing vocals) Rob Townsend (saxophone, flutes, additional keyboards), Roger King (keyboards) and Craig Blundell (drums and percussion) have brought many of these albums back to great acclaim. For the 2026 tour there will be two changes to the band. Lalle Larsson has taken over on keyboards from Roger and Felix Lehrmann will take over from Craig on drums. Steve Hackett joined Genesis at the beginning of 1971. He quickly gained an international reputation as the guitarist in the band’s classic line-up alongside Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford and Phil Collins. Steve’s intricate guitar work was a key element of Genesis albums from Nursery Cryme (1971) to Wind And Wuthering (1977) including the classic Selling England By The Pound . After leaving Genesis at the end of 1977, Steve ’s solo career, which now spans more than 30 albums, has demonstrated his extraordinary versatility with both electric and acoustic guitar. Steve is renowned as both an immensely talented and innovative rock musician and a virtuoso classical guitarist and composer and this was recognised in 2010 when he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. He has also worked alongside Steve Howe of YES in the supergroup GTR. Hackett ’s compositions take influences from many genres, including jazz, classical and blues. For his studio works The Night Siren (2017) and At The Edge Of Light (2019) Hackett explored the influences of world music. Recent tours have seen Hackett celebrate his time with Genesis including a spectacular 2018 tour in which he realised a long-held ambition to perform the works of Genesis live with his band and an orchestra. The lockdown enforced by the 2020 global pandemic proved to be a particularly creative period for Hackett . He began by releasing Selling Englan...

Speaking on what it means to celebrate 25 years, Katherine says: “Reaching twenty-five years in music is incredibly emotional, but this tour is truly a celebration of the fans who have been there from the very beginning. To be heading out across the UK and Ireland for eighteen special shows feels less like a celebration of a career and more like a reunion with old friends and I can’t wait to stand on stage, look out into those familiar faces, and share it all over again.” Katherine Jenkins OBE is officially the world’s most successful classical singer, having been named The Biggest Selling Classical Artist of the Century by Classic FM and earning a record-breaking 14 number-one albums since signing to Universal Classics at just 22. She burst onto the music scene in 2003 with a landmark performance at Westminster Cathedral honouring Pope John Paul II, followed by appearances at major international sporting events and at the Sydney Opera House. A favourite of the British Royal Family, Jenkins has sung at many national occasions including Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee, Coronation concerts at Buckingham Palace, and her 90th birthday celebrations at Windsor Castle. She has also performed for Popes, Presidents and Princes, further establishing her place as one of the world’s most in-demand classical performers. Alongside her musical achievements, Katherine has earned ‘National Treasure” status through her charitable work. She serves as global patron of The Wilderness Foundation, ambassador for Prince William’s TUSK Trust and Macmillan Cancer Support, and trustee of The British Forces Foundation - for whom she has performed for troops in conflict zones around the world. Awarded an OBE in 2013, she also lifted spirits during the 2020 pandemic with 25 free “lockdown live” concerts, including history-making performances at Buckingham Palace and a behind-closed-doors Royal Albert Hall concert. A versatile creative force, Katherine has performed and record...
