ORIGINAL LEAD GUITARIST OF GENESIS

Anthony Edwin Phillips (born 23 December 1951) is an English musician and composer best known as the original lead guitarist of the rock band Genesis, performing with the group from 1967 to 1970. He left the band in July 1970, just before their rise to mainstream success, a move that has led some to refer to him as “the Pete Best of progressive rock” - though unlike Best, Phillips chose to leave on his own terms.

After departing Genesis, Phillips broadened his musical skills and launched a solo career. He released his debut solo album, The Geese & the Ghost, in 1977 and has continued to create music ever since. His work spans solo albums, film and television scores, artistic collaborations, and curated compilations of his recordings.

FRONTMAN OF THE ALARM

Michael Leslie Peters MBE DL (25 February 1959 – 29 April 2025) was a Welsh musician best known as the lead vocalist of the rock band The Alarm. Following the band’s breakup in 1991, Peters embarked on a solo career, releasing his own material before relaunching The Alarm in 2000.

Beyond his work in music, Peters co-founded the Love Hope Strength Foundation, a charity dedicated to supporting cancer care. From 2011 to 2013, he also served as lead vocalist for Big Country, performing alongside his continued involvement with The Alarm. In recognition of his contributions to cancer advocacy and awareness, he was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2019 New Year Honours.

RENOWED DOUBLE BASSIST

Daniel Henry Edward Thompson (born 4 April 1939) is an English multi-instrumentalist, widely recognized for his work as a double bassist. Over the course of a long and diverse musical career, he has performed with a broad range of artists, most notably Richard Thompson and John Martyn.

Between 1964 and 1967, Thompson was a member of Alexis Korner’s Blues Incorporated, and during that period, he also led a trio featuring guitarist John McLaughlin. He went on to become a founding member of the influential British folk-jazz group Pentangle. Since 1987, he has released four solo albums, further showcasing his versatility and depth as a musician.
