John Hackett for Crossover

BIO

John Hackett is a British flute player, born 13 March 1955, the younger brother of Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett. He also plays guitar, bass, bass pedals and keyboards. He started performing and recording with his brother, and making guest contributions to some Genesis related albums, such as Anthony Phillips's The Geese and the Ghost.
On the classical side, he played with The English Flute Quartet and the Westminster Camerata.
Since 2004, John focused on releasing solo albums. In 2005, Checking Out of London was a neo-progressive album co-produced with Nick Magnus, and with the lyrical contribution of Nick Clabburn. This was followed by a sophomore effort in the same style, Another Life (2015), with the aforementioned collaborators, and his brother Steve contributing guitar.
Supporting the release of Another Life, a band was formed with John (guitars, keys, vocals), Nick Fletcher (lead guitar), Duncan Parsons (drums, percussion, vocals) and Jeremy Richardson (bass, guitars, vocals).
They started to perform as the John Hackett Band in 2016, being their live debut album We Are Not Alone released in 2017, followed by their first studio effort Beyond The Stars (2019), credited now to both John hackett and Nick Fletcher.

We're very close now to getting Nick Fletcher cleared as a solo artist in JR/F (we just need it confirming on Awesome Prog really, since all the definitive votes from the currently active team members have now been cast). John Hackett is therefore now under formal evaluation as a solo artist in Crossover, just to dot the i's and cross the t's, and hopefully both he and Nick will soon have their respective solo pages on PA. 

Never heard him.

Just a couple of months short of the 20th anniversary of the release of 'Checking Out of London', he's finally here!
