Summary

This week on Rockonteurs, Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt are like kids in a candy store as they get to talk to a guitar hero. We are delighted to welcome Steve Hackett to the podcast. From his early influences, to his PROG years in Genesis and his incredibly successful solo career, we try and cover of much of this man’s career as we can. He embraces and has conquered so many styles and sounds from pop, blues, rock, world music and classical and influenced the likes of Brian May and Eddie Van Halen to name but 2. This was a fun one to record.

Rockonteurs is produced by Ben Jones and Ian Callaghan for Gimme Sugar Productions
