Acclaimed Musician, Steve Hillage, Comes To Liverpool This November.

Ahead of his U.K. dates next month, acclaimed musician Steve Hillage has announced extra dates for November 2019 due to demand, including an evening at Liverpool’s 02 Academy on Saturday 23rd November.

The shows will see Steve performing tracks from his classic 70s albums Green, L, Fish Rising and Motivation Radio, joined onstage in the Steve Hillage Band by his synthesiser playing partner Miquette Giraudy and the members of Gong.  Gong will also be playing their own separate set.

Since he began playing guitar in the early 1960s, through his time with Gong and beyond as a solo artist and one half of System 7, Steve Hillage has embodied what it means to be a truly progressive musician.

Rovo And System 7, Phoenix Rising. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Sometimes coming across a group or project that you don’t know about can be cathartic for the soul, for it reminds you of why you fell desperately in love with the chosen genre in the first place.  With enough nods to the intricate genius of Mike Oldfield, the eclectic progressive Jazz of groups such as Brand X, the majesty of Pink Floyd and a whole host of Progressive rock bands entwined with an art house feel, Phoenix Rising, an album of colossal combination by Rovo and System 7, is an album that will blow any pre-conceptions the listener may have when it comes to the world of Japanese Progressive Rock.
