Info for Live Magic At Trading Boundaries

Steve Hackett’s annual performances at Trading Boundaries, in Sussex, UK have become something of a tradition for the legendary guitarist in recent years. Presenting stripped down material, and showcasing his acclaimed classical compositions, with a line-up including John Hackett, Roger King, Amanda Lehmann & Rob Townsend, ‘Live Magic At Trading Boundaries’ presents 17 tracks taken from a selection of Steve’s performances at the venue. Music includes Genesis classics like ‘Horizons’ & ‘Blood On The Rooftops’, as well as classic solo & classical material such as ‘Black Light’, ‘Jacuzzi’, ‘The Journey’ & much more.

On 17 tracks, Steve explores different facets of his repertoire, including Genesis classics like ‘Blood On The Rooftops’ and ‘Horizons’, stripped down solo material like ‘Ace Of Wands’ and ‘Hands Of The Priestess’ as well as magical interpretations of his much-acclaimed classic tracks like ‘Black Light’ and ‘The Journey’. The result is an album that shows a completely different side of his playing: ‘Somehow you can feel the special atmosphere through the sound of the music on this new live album, which is a complete contrast to my live rock shows.’

‘I love the delicate, dreamlike quality of this show, with John and Rob playing beautifully together on flute and saxophone, interspersed with surprising moments of power, such as the point where Roger's keys become the sound of a full-blown pipe organ!’ The album also includes two performances of tracks from Amanda Lehmann's latest solo album ‘Innocence and Illusion’, ‘Amanda's lovely vocals in her own captivating songs also provide a special contrast.’
