​​​​THE JOHN HACKETT BAND
The John Hackett Band embodies the spirit of progressive rock. From John’s pastoral flute textures, through the funky interplay between
drummer Duncan Parsons and bassist Jeremy Richardson to the intricacies of Nick Fletcher’s lead guitar the group embrace pop, rock,
jazz, classical, funk and all stops in-between, from the tenderest of ballads to hair-raising instrumental workouts!
John Hackett has been a much-loved and admired figure in the progressive rock scene since the mid-70’s; best-known for his flute work
with his brother, former Genesis guitarist, Steve Hackett on albums sucha s Voyage of The Acolyte, Sketches of Satie and Please Don’t Touch alongside his own solo albums Checking Out Of London, Another Life and The Piper Plays His Tune
“Nick Fletcher is probably the best jazz rock guitarist in the country. His fluency is astounding, plus he possesses a first-rate classical guitar technique to boot! I consider Nick Fletcher to be an absolute star” Steve Hackett
“The band have never sounded better, and they are musically as tight as a drum skin at present.” David Edwards, The Progressive Aspect – March 2024​
