Stitch, Friars fan from
Princes Risborough,
writing for the Friars Aylesbury website in 2008 said:
"I am writing to tell you
about Genesis in Princes Risborough. Although my memory is probably not
interesting enough to include I thought I'd write anyway. I was born and
raised in Risborough and one night I had my window open and being quite
young was in bed. I could hear this music coming from the British Legion
and hung out the window to listen. I couldn't really tell what was
happening. So years later ( and a Genesis fan ) I found out it was
Genesis playing. There, not that cool but for me, pretty good"

Where do you start? ! Steve
Hackett joined the band, replacing Anthony Phillips and in 1975 Peter
Gabriel left Genesis to pursue a solo career and has been phenomenally
successful. Hackett left to pursue a solo career in 1977 after the Wind
and Wuthering album. Genesis remained a core three piece (their 1978 album
wonderfully called "...and then there were three"....) and went on to
become one of the world's biggest bands and whilst huge played Friars
again in 1980 creating the biggest demand in Friars history. Genesis were
still filling stadiums until 1992. Collins officially left in 1995, with
him enjoying huge solo success alongside his Genesis commitments. Banks
and Rutherford soldiered on with Ray Wilson from Stiltskin, but after one
album called it a day. The core trio reunited in 2007 and proved they
could still fill stadiums. Rumours still persist that a reunion with
Hackett and Gabriel is on the cards (having not been able to do it in
2007)
