GUITARIST Steve Hackett has revealed he is open to playing with prog rock legends Genesis again if the band ever reforms.
There has been mounting speculation the 70s rockers could play together again.
The 65-year-old Hackett was part of the legendary line-up alongside Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel.
His guitar parts are fundamental to Genesis’ influential albums like Nursery Cryme and the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.
Hackett will headline the Music Hall tonight to recreate those halcyon Genesis years and also perform solo material.
And he admits to a yearning for Genesis, who met up briefly for a 2014 documentary, to take to the stage together again.
He said: “I would be open for a Genesis reunion.
“The fact that I honour the Genesis material and carry the candle for the band shows I would say yes to playing together again.
“However you have to remember there has been an awfully long time waiting for that.
“I was part of that golden period of Genesis when Peter Gabriel was involved and I am still drawn to that music.
“A lot of people who went on to become leaders in their field were involved in those early efforts.
“Genesis were different from most progressive bands as we were not driven by technique.
“It was a bit ramshackle at times and we deliberately allowed it to breathe.”
