Nobody needs to discover me, I'm back again.

One year for my birthday (or Christmas, I can't remember) I was given ...and then there were three... on cassette, it intruiged me enough to look for more albums by the band, soon I had built up a nice cassette collection, then started buying the original CD editions, and the rest is on my website!

First Genesis concert: Knebworth Park, Stevenage, UK - 2nd August 1992
By this time I had been a fan for about 4 years and sang my heart out to every song.

First tribute concert: Strictly Banks (Tony Banks tribute, UK) Orchard Theatre in Dartford - 6th September 1998
I was a member of The Waiting Room magazine (remember that?) and kept on getting flyers for this special concert, it was an audacious thing to attempt especially as a one-off event, and it was a great evening.

First Mike Rutherford concert: Royal Albert Hall, London, UK - 25th May 1999.
Went with my Mum, met Mike by chance at the stage door, I was so nervous but he was gracious enough to let me take a couple of pictures and listen to me say how great it was to meet him.

Met Chris Stewart in London on 3rd June 1999 Driving Over Lemons book launch, London
An invitation was sent out to bookshops for people to attend the launch of Mr Stewarts book and I was lucky enough to go, Chris signed my copy of FGTR and chuckled when he saw the photo of himself on the cover, his books (now on his 3rd) are still selling well.

First fan convention: G99 The 1999 Genesis Fan Convention Guildford Civic Hall - Saturday 11th September 1999

First Peter Gabriel concert: OVO - The Millenium Dome, Greenwich, London - 26th July 2000 (Growing Up tour - May 2003)

First Ray Wilson concert: Acoustic set - G2 Genesis Weekend, Limelight Club, Crewe - 5th April 2002
I remember Ray playing solo acoustic guitar on the same level as the audience and having a great voice.

First Phil Collins concert: First Final Farewell tour - Manchester MEN Arena - 28th June 2004


First Steve Hackett tour: The Stables, Milton Keynes - ?
