GENESIS Connected is a UK tribute show celebrating the music of Genesis and the biggest selling acts connected:

Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins and Mike & the Mechanics.

This show has an incredible mix of material, from atmospheric anthems to chart toppers that will get the crowd dancing in the aisles.

Hits spanning from the late 70s onwards include; Turn It On Again, Slegdehammer, In The Air Tonight, Over My Shoulder, Against All Odds, That’s All, Solsbury Hill, You Can’t Hurry Love, The Living Years and many more. . . The frontman, Pete Bultitude, is not only an incredibly versatile vocalist, he is also a truly gifted drummer just like Phil Collins.

Expect the show to include the iconic 'double drums' element as featured on every Genesis and Phil Collins tour.

Lead singer Pete said he turned to playing the drums after hearing the drum fill in Phil Collins' In The Air Tonight.

He added: "It captured my imagination and from that moment on I was hooked! Phil Collins to me is an icon; I even play a Premier 70s drum kit very similar to one he owned as well as using his signature drum sticks."

Pete says his favourite songs from each of the artists he covers are Fading Lights by Genesis, Why Can't It Wait Till Morning by Phil Collins and Another Cup of Coffee by Mike and the Mechanics

He became involved with Genesis Connected after coming up with the idea with keyboard player and his best friend Chris Woods.

He said: "We loved Genesis, but also loved the biggest solo acts that came from it. Once, we were both performing in a Phil Collins tribute show and the power cut, I grabbed an acoustic guitar and started playing Over My Shoulder by Mike and the Mechanics, the audience all sang along and me and Chris thought, time to do this!"

*Genesis Connected, Weymouth Pavilion, Friday, October 13. Call the box office for tickets.
