TO PLAY PEMBERTON CENTRE. In 1967 in Surrey - England, five young men came together to create what no one knew at the time, was to be one of biggest musical acts in the world… GENESIS!
GENESISH consists of five talented musicians from the North of England who have each developed their craft over many years, with a significant influence of Genesis running throughout their musical journeys. Throughout their 40 year career, Genesis went on to make no less than John Kirby – Lead Vocals, Percussion & Drums 15 studio albums which were accompanied by a host of well received Gary Gordon – Guitars live concert albums with the bands fan Mike Dagnall – Bass & Bass Pedals Neil Gordon – Keyboards base running into the millions. They are continually cited many times over Mike Walker – Drums as a major influence for other high profile bands and musicians - a sure testament to the fantastic music they have written and produced for the appreciation and enjoyment of others since that fateful day in the 1960s when the group formed. As avid and exceedingly passionate admirers of Genesis for many years and very much standing in the shadows of Genesis themselves, five young (ish!) men came together in November 2009 with the sole intention of creating a magnificent showcase of Genesis songs covering both the Peter Gabriel, and Phil Collins eras. The GENESIS spectacular is a collection of songs from all Genesis era's including Land of Confusion, The Knife, Firth of Fifth, Jesus He Knows Me, I Know What I Like, The Musical Box, Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, Carpet Crawlers, Turn It On Again and Mama - all performed to the highest level by Genesis fans; for Genesis fans, shrouded within an outstanding “Genesis style” light show. GENESISH have quickly earned a reputation for being very much at the top of their game, receiving rapturous acclaim from not only fans in the UK but also from around the world. GENESISH have a large following on Facebook which is growing daily as word spreads about this phenomenal tribute band, having performed to large numbers in music venues across the UK.
John began drumming at the age of nine with his dad giving him his introduction to Genesis not long after. His dad would listen to Genesis day and night which quickly rubbed off on the young John who couldn't help listening to the same music as he did. John had various musical influences as he grew up such as Bruce Springsteen, Marillion, David Bowie and Queen, but his favourite albums were 'Genesis' by Genesis, and 'Script for a Jesters Tear' by Marillion. Bands such as Rush, Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Foo Fighters, and Muse are also cited as big musical influences. John's musical journey has included playing the drums and performing backing vocals for both covers and original material bands over the
years with some of his own material being written alongside. John took up the challenge of 'singing properly' as he calls it about two years ago and when the opportunity of performing like one of his heroes came about; Phil Collins, this was an opportunity he felt he couldn't miss. John was always admired Phil Collins as both a singer and a drummer and says " I hope I can deliver a performance that will bring back some memories for both the audience and myself, that shows the level of appreciation I have for what Genesis has done over the years." Gary converted to guitar after first starting with keyboards in his youth, His musical adventure was put in motion by writing and recording music with original bands such as 'Tirian Flame' and 'Magrathea', the latter having recorded 4 albums and supported 'The John Young Band' and 'Pallas', amongst others. Gary's first Genesis encounter was around the early 80's when he first heard 'A Trick Of The Tail'. This was the start of an obsession of biblical proportions. Favorite songs include, One For The Vine and The Battle Of Epping Forest. His spare time is spent writing and recording music at home, in between football, cycling, fishing and dog walking!

Since being given his first bass when he was 13 (which he still uses 30 years later), Mike has used every opportunity to grow as a performer and player. Starting out in Working Men's clubs at a very early age, Mike quickly built a reputation as a reliable and professional musician which produced opportunities to work, play and stand beside some of the biggest names in rock and pop. An experienced touring and recording musician, Mike is no stranger to the covers and tribute scene before joining Genes-ish, and his energetic performances and strong backing vocals have made him an integral part of everything he has been involved in. Genesis was one of the first major concerts he went to in the mid eighties. "Going to that gig was my first experience of a major outdoor event and despite the rain in the afternoon, it engrained the music of Genesis into my brain.
spectacular lighting show they produce for GENESISH. The guys' philosophy is to emulate various aspects of the original Genesis shows throughout the years to greatly enhance the music of GENESISH. As Jeff says "our aim is to give everyone who comes to see the show a little 'tongue in cheek' piece of Genesis themselves. Whether it be a nostalgic reminder for those having been to a Genesis show in the past, or to those who weren't lucky enough to see Genesis perform live; a slice of the visual feasts the band presented at each and every show throughout the years".
Neil’s main influences come from classic prog-rock bands such as ELP, Yes and Marillion and is a fan of the early Genesis material citing “Stagnation‟ and “White Mountain‟ as two of his favourite songs. Mike first got into Genesis when his drum teacher played him 'And Then There Were Three'. He was knocked out by the epic quality of the music and the originality of the drumming. The first big gig he saw was a Steve Hackett concert which left its mark on him because of the mix of great musicianship and impressive visuals. Mike has played all over the world in many bands, playing jazz, rock and orchestral music. As well as listening to Genesis he is a fan of Steely Dan, XTC and 20th century classical music. Mike composes and teaches and has a music degree from Salford University.
Jeff, Dave & Mik - a.k.a 'The Three Amigos' are 'skilled craftsmen' when That year the Invisible Touch album it comes to the visual element of the was never off the cassette player." show. All three are avid, passionate "Seeing Genesis during this period confirmed to me what I wanted to do." and very knowledgeable Genesis fans, The opportunity to join Genes-ish was which is clearly evident from the one not to be missed and Mike sees it as a challenge and a privilege to pay tribute to the great Mike Rutherford. Neil was introduced to keyboards from originally picking up the guitar at an early age, after what he proclaimed was a natural transition for a ”techno geek‟. Neil’s first taste of Genesis came in the mid 70‟s when his cousin played him tracks from “The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway‟ and other albums – from there he was hooked. Like the rest of the members of GENES-ISH Neil began his musical apprenticeship via original material and covers bands, one of which supported British rock band Magnum.
Each song GENESISH perform is carefully broken down by Jeff, Dave & Mik so that maximum performance value; when it comes to the lighting, is achieved to turn a humble 'gig' into a magnificent show.
If you want to see the band in action to see why you should treat yourself to this superbly accurate re-enactment of one of the worlds greatest ever prog rock bands, go to www.genesish.co.uk. This is an all era concert including content from the Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett and Phil Collins incarnations of Genesis.

Soul’in Around, Still Soul In These Old Shoes. Hi All A slightly shorter version of Soul’in Around this month, to make room for all the festive frolics.

There is much to look forward to on the night, including a ‘dance competition’ free to enter and open to all, with a fantastic first prize of a pair of brand new retro Solatio dance shoes.

The next Soul in the Bowl is on Saturday 14th January 2014.

Eastern Promise Delivered. We ventured over to the Eastern Spice Restaurant in High Street Irthlingborough for their Thursday evening banquet. Instantly greeted by two members of staff as we walked in and showed to our table and it take long before our poppdoms arrived with a choice of 5 dips. The restaurant was quite busy with a large party in celebrating a birthday. We also found that it was a nice layout as while there is room for parties like the aforementioned, there are a number of booths for up to four people that make it a nice intimate setting if that is what you are after.

Jinga La Jawab was my choice. King prawns, marinated & grilled then cooked with onions, green chillies, coriander & tomatoes in a thick sauce. This turned out to be a real surprise of a dish. Initially on my first taste I thought it was very nice, mild and creamy. Then along came a superb after kick of spice that really lit up my cheeks but without taking away the flavours of the prawns.
We both went for a pilau rice which was very aromatic and accompanied the main dishes well.

Thems The Brakes In Rushden, Higham & Raunds December Blitz! People of Events on Magazine, the past couple of months have been the quietest THEMS THE BRAKES have ever been!! We have been practising hard to change our set and get loads of new material for the new year. As we come closer to the festive period, bookings start to come flying in for December and 2014. We kick off December with one of our favourite venues, The Queens Head in Higham Ferrers (Saturday 7th December). Always a fantastic night here with a great crowd!!! The owners, Steve and Heidi really have turned the place around, and always make it a very enjoyable venue to play - both enjoying a couple of drinks which also makes it good.
Ferrers, but this time it is for a fantastic cause. The 14th December is a date that will forever touch the hearts of THEMS THE BRAKES. On the 14th December 2012, a good friend of many, Mr. Matthew Pinnock unfortunately passed away after a long and heroic battle against cancer. So this year, we are celebrating his life by performing a memorial gig at The Green Dragon, which was his local. Please come and join us, and show some local and respect for this great bloke.
The 21st of December, we cross towns into Rushden, and play at "The Wembley" of Rushden, The Wheatsheaf. A great venue for live music, with a cracking beer to join it. Then NYE, we will be The following week, we once again celebrating the end of the year by visit The Green Dragon in Higham performing at The Snooks Club in
Raunds. Ticket information can be found on our Facebook and Twitter pages. Our NYE gig will also be a special one for the members of TTB as we unfortunately say goodbye to Miss Kelly Barnes who has decided to leave the band in a bid to progress in her solo career. She is one hell of a singer, and so many good things are to come to her if she carries on the way she is going. Since joining the band over three years ago, she has been a major asset to THEMS THE BRAKES, and we are very upset to see her leaving, but we know it is for the best and we all wish her lots of love and luck for her future success. Please search for her on Facebook, and Youtube, and follow her progress. We look forward to seeing you all at some venue, at some period in the future. For booking information, please contact Dave Earl. Tel: 07581032806
