 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.

| ^ See my reply to your post in the Nick Fletcher solo suggestion thread https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=132374&PID=6166670#6166670" rel="nofollow - 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. |
