STEVE HACKETT announces special show for Childline Rocks
Steve Hackett and the Electric Band will be performing a special, unique one-off show - Past and Present – atthe Islington Assembly Hall, London on Sunday 20 May 2012 in aid of Childline Rocks. To coincide with the event, they will release a double ‘A’ side digital single ‘Til These Eyes’ coupled with ‘Enter The Night’ (Radio Mix) on 21st May (20th on iTunes); part of the sales revenue from the single will also go to the charity.
Steve says: “My Past and Present show at the Islington Assembly on 20th May celebrates both my early time with Genesis, along with my first album and then jumps forward to my most recent albums. With both the delicacy of acoustic and the explosion of the electric experience, it’s a Janus show that looks both backwards and forwards and links the early days to the present, with an eye to the future…
With support for the charity Childline and the influence of JM Barrie’s Peter Pan story in my single “Enter the Night”, we visit the realm of lost children. There’s a sad story behind this magical child of eternal youth, because Barrie’s brother had died as a young boy, remaining young in spirit forever but unable to grow up and live a full life. Barrie gave proceeds of the book Peter Pan to charity to help children and to save young lives, and we also hope to make a difference with our support of Childline.”
