John Hackett has been a much-loved and admired figure in the progressive rock scene since the mid-70s, best-known for his flute work with his brother, former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett, on albums such as Voyage of The Acolyte, Sketches of Satie, and Please Don’t Touch. “Nick Fletcher is probably the best jazz-rock guitarist in the country. His fluency is astounding, plus he possesses a first-rate classical guitar technique to boot! I consider Nick Fletcher to be an absolute star” Steve Hackett “The band have never sounded better, and they are musically as tight as a drum skin.” David Edwards, The Progressive Aspect – March 2024 Dikajee (solo) opening Dikajee became vocalist of the year at Prog Readers Poll, and the single "Lily Of The Valley" was released on "The Best Of Metal Hammer 2021" official CD.
