Reminder not to
drive on the beach!
IT takes a legend to bring
a myth back to life. A unique treat for music fans worldwide, Steve
Hackett's critically acclaimed live production 'Genesis
Revisited - Live At Hammersmith' (Catalogue Number:- 050664)
has so far triumphed in Europe, Japan and North America alike and is
still going strong; on 10 May 2013; it celebrated its success at a
sold out London's Hammersmith Apollo with an ecstatic audience.
Genesis Revisited; Live at Hammersmith; a unique performance with
guests including Nik Kershaw, John Wetton, Jakko Jakszyk, Steve
Rothery and Amanda Lehmann; will be released on 21 October 2013,
through Inside Out/Universal Records. The 3CD+2DVD (with 5.1) box
set coincides with the return of Hackett's Genesis Revisited Tour to
the UK for a 2nd round, due to popular demand.
The pioneering guitarist comments:- "The 5.1 DVD with stereo
CD out on 21 October 2013, including the whole show from Hammersmith
Apollo is a feast for all the senses. I was blown away by the
fantastic response to those May UK gigs. The autumn Genesis
Revisited shows will include different Genesis material to before as
well as all the big faves that bring the house down...See you all
soon!"
The upcoming UK Tour includes a nearly sold out
performance at the legendary Royal Albert Hall on 24 October 2013.

British Musical
Fireworks 2013!
THE annual British Musical
Fireworks Championship held in Southport over 4 October to 6 October
2013 and this year it has been relocated to Victoria Park, home of
the Southport Flower Show. We will have full coverage in next
weeks issue! The relocation
to Victoria Park is due to the £5.5 million revamp of Southport's
King's Gardens, but do not let that stop you from going to what will
be a blast! With not 1, but 7 world class pyrotechnic
companies fighting to with the coveted title over 3 nights, you are
going to see some amazing displays! The new venue will see some
great improvements to the annual championships and also allows for
more new innovative displays from the competitors; so expect some
surprises!
As ever, the rules remain the same, displays will be
performed and synchronised to a wide selection of music from
classical to chart favourites. Each dazzling display will last
around 20 minutes.

3 wonderful competitors all making their debuts - Sirotechnics,

Cllr Ian Maher, Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Tourism, said:-
"7 magnificent firework displays are set to dazzle the crowds
