The Music Of Genesis

About this event

BACK IN GERMANY, IN 2009, ELMAR FERNER, JOCHEN PIETSCH, NIKLAS TURMANN, MICHAEL SCHUGARDT AND MOMME BOE WERE STUDENTS AT HANNOVER’S RENOWNED UNIVERSITY OF MUSIC, DRAMA AND MEDIA. AS PART OF THEIR GRADUATION, THEY PLAYED TWO CONCERTS FEATURING THE MUSIC OF GENESIS AND PHIL COLLINS. THEY CALLED THE BAND ‘THE FARM,’ NAMED AFTER THE RECORDING STUDIO IN SURRY, UK, THAT GENESIS HAD BUILT. THE CONCERTS SOLD OUT IMMEDIATELY, WERE VERY WELL RECEIVED AND FOR POSTERITY, FILMED AND POSTED TO YOUTUBE. TO THEIR SURPRISE, THERE WAS AN OVERWHELMING RESPONSE FROM GENESIS AND PHIL COLLINS FANS ALL OVER THE WORLD, MOSTLY COMMENTING ON HOW MUCH LIKE THE ORIGINAL BAND THEY SOUNDED AND ASKING WHEN THEY MIGHT GO ON TOUR?! HIGH PRAISE INDEED AND SURELY A POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITY………. HOWEVER, THIS RESPONSE HAD NOT, NOR COULD NOT HAVE BEEN ANTICIPATED. EVERYONE ALREADY HAD PLANS FOR THE FUTURE. WHILST IT WAS A FANTASTIC END TO THEIR STUDENT DAYS, THE FARM GATES SHUT ALMOST AS QUICKLY AS THEY HAD OPENED. IT WOULD BE WELL OVER A DECADE BEFORE THEY WOULD GET BACK TOGETHER AGAIN……… IN EARLY 2019, A PRODUCER WITH A DEEP PASSION FOR AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE ORIGINAL BAND, HAD BEEN LOOKING TO PUT TOGETHER THE ULTIMATE GENESIS TRIBUTE FOR MANY YEARS. NOTHING CAME CLOSE IN THE MARKETPLACE. HE HAPPENED ACROSS THE FARM CONCERTS ON YOU TUBE AND WAS IMMEDIATLEY IMPRESSED.
