Here are Steve's answers to your latest questions: Bruce Mendelson: Are you and Peter ever going to do something together? Has the subject ever come up? Hi Bruce, No plans, but we're good pals and it's possible down the line... António Costa: Hi, Steve. My question is very simple. is there any possibility of coming to Portugal to give a show? Thank you very much. Hi António, I hope to return to Portugal to play again soon. Ken Cox: Steve, you are still playing & looking so great! What are your favorite ways to remain so young in mind & body? And, if I can dare to ask a 2nd question, might we ever see you and your band in majestic, Vancouver B.C.? Hi Ken, I particularly like walking, and sometimes swimming too. Yes, Vancouver is very likely - watch this space! Gerard Jansen: Just listened to A Voyage of the Accolyte and I think I hear a yell that was often heard in 40-45 at the end of A tower struck down: Why is that ? Hi Gerard, To show the horror of evil. Joy Wagner Dalton: I would love for you and Jo to tell us about your favorite place to travel together. When you travel, do you have an entourage or do you travel by yourselves? Hi Joy, On holiday we sometimes travel with friends, but often do our own thing. We always love to return to Greece, the cradle of civilisation, but we enjoy exploring new places too. Petr Salidar: Do you have another book of transcriptions coming out soon? I have The Complete Transcriptions and The Sound of Steve Hackett. Thanks! Hi Petr, Yes there will be another one soon. Alan Roy Dell: Hello from Canada. If you could make an album with one now deceased musician, who would that be? Is there anyone you wished you could have collaborated or worked with? Hi Alan, I would have loved to have worked more on an album with John Wetton and it would have been great to have done another Squackett album with Chris Squire. Nic Jenner: Sad to hear Gary is leaving, loved his style of playing. Do you know who will be replacing him yet? Hi Nic, Yes, I was sorry to lose Gary. He's a brilliant drummer. His replacement will be announced very soon. Billy Pickett: Have you ever considered playing the vocal version of Spectral Mornings live? Hi Billy, Not at this time, as I'll be performing as much of the album as authentically as possible over the upcoming tour. Kevin Whitall: Are you still using any of the Genesis gear you used? Guitars, pedals? Hi Kevin, I still use the same Les Paul, usually when recording. Also, I still use both the nylon Yairi and the Zermatis twelve string. I still use the MXR90 but other pedals have been replaced with updates. Brian Rottkamp: Will there ever be a CD of your recent orchestration tour? Hi Brian, Yes there will be both a CD and DVD of that tour. Unai Zarraolandia: How it was the experience with Richie Havens and whats the inspiration for the song "How can I?" Best Wishes. Hi Unai, Richie Havens was a joy to work with and a wonderful singer. The questions of love and uncertainty were the ideas which propelled the song. Jerry Carlson: Does Gary O'Toole play percussion on your upcoming album release? Hi Jerry, Gary plays drums on one of the new album tracks. Bruce Becker: Are there any countries you haven't played yet or any countries that won't allow you to play there? Hi Bruce, Yes there are countries I've not yet played and many I hope to play in the future. Andy Greifeld: Is there a chance to see a acoustic concert or tour in Germany (like the concert in Budapest)? Hi Andy, Not at this time. Over the next year I'll be playing my Genesis Revisited show playing the whole of Selling England by the Pound and much of Spectral Mornings plus some new material, which will all be played in Germany as well as elsewhere. But I will be doing an acoustic show next month at Trading Boundaries in Sussex, UK. Martin Barraza: I have a question for Mr. Hackett :') Do you remember Phil's dance in 1977 tour when Mike told the story of Myrtle the Mermaid, before Your own special way?? Thanks for your magnificent music <3 Máster Steve Hi Martin, Yes, I do remember. Phil is a very entertaining front man. Many thanks, and warmest wishes to all, Steve
