	^ See my reply to your post in the Nick Fletcher solo suggestion thread here. I'm hoping we will be able to convert the existing John Hackett & Nick Fletcher page into John Hackett solo once Nick Fletcher has his own solo page here. You can rest assured that one way or another John Hackett will be evaluated as a solo artist if another evaluation is actually considered to be necessary following the one that was carried out in 2021 for the 'Beyond the Stars' album that he did in collaboration with Nick Fletcher.
