Steve Hackett Creates A Musical Diary Former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett described his newest record, ‘Under a Mediterranean Sky’, as a “travelogue”, and has revealed the inspirations behind his music. Discussing the album, Steve shared: “I just love the idea of an imaginary journey that recalls all the other actual journeys that I had made. “It’s a travelogue, a musical diary perhaps, but it’s also a dream til we’re able to fully engage with the world again.” Asked about his favourite place to visit in the Mediterranean, Steve told Prog magazine: “Italy is a big favourite. I’ve toured there more probably than any other region in the Mediterranean, but then I did masses of gigs in France, Spain, of course, I love it for its music and architecture and all the rest.
