Steve Hackett “The Man, The Music” Documentary


In candid and personal interviews, filmed over a number of years, Steve reveals the joys, tensions and success of a life in progressive rock.
Starting with his early childhood years to his arrival at Genesis, playing a key role during their most innovative era on seminal albums Selling England by the Pound and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, the film goes on to trace Steve’s multifaceted solo career.

From classic albums Voyage of the Acolyte and Spectral Mornings, via Steve’s virtual invention of the classical-crossover genre with Bay of Kings and Sketches of Satie, right up to the recent album Wolf Light and the hugely successful Genesis Revisited project, Steve Hackett remains a singular voice in music.

Exclusive studio sessions feature Steve reliving his key musical moments and offers a virtual masterclass in his electric and acoustic guitar techniques.
