I wish the German Genesis Fanclub a very happy 20th birthday!

I know several of the members. I have been in contact with Helmut Janisch for many years and he has always been very hard working, helpful and inspiring.

It was a great honour for me when Helmut, Christian, Steffen, and all the German Genesis Fanclub members put on a spectacular event in Remscheid in Germany in March 2009. They put together an incredible display of Hackett memorabilia from over the years. I enjoyed playing there with the acoustic trio of myself, John Hackett and Roger King as well as meeting all the fans who came. It was a special occasion that I will always remember with a lot of warmth.

I very much look forward to seeing members of the fanclub on tour in November, and my thanks for all the support to all the Genesis members over the years.

My very best wishes to you all,

Steve Hackett

I worked with Genesis from 1969 to 1979 – my twenties. Playing my

part in making my school friends into the world class band that they

became was an exciting, fascinating and rewarding adventure, It is

such a bonus that now, all these years later, that you folks are so

keen to keep the memory of that time alive. Thank you for all your

hard work and enthusiasm and happy 20th anniversary.

Love and best wishes from Richard Macphail.
