We have returned to our respective home bases following Cruise To The Edge. After a warm-up show at the 1865 in Southampton, where Ross Jennings and an acoustic Solstice opened the evening for us brilliantly, we journeyed to Miami and then performed twice on board the Cruise.

Fifty years ago this month, Genesis released "Ripples" b/w "Entangled" as a single from "A Trick Of The Tail". "For me it really evokes that first period when Phil took over the vocals." - Tony Banks Listen: https://t.co/hTxFZYvdC4

I can't believe it's 11 years since he left us . He's still a major influence to bass players young & old . It was a privilege to watch him play & even more so for me as I had the privilege to be in the same band & be on stage with him . I'm sure he's causing chaos in Heaven !
Did you know these interesting facts about Chris Squire of YES? • His nickname “Fish” came from his habit of taking extremely long baths—bandmates would grow impatient waiting for him to finish, joking that he was “swimming” or “like a fish.” This quirky trait stuck throughout

‘Woodcut is a handcrafted, deeply human record: analogue in spirit, exacting in execution, and fully deserving of its place among the most substantial and enduring Progressive Rock works of the current era’
