Mama - Genesis Tribute

A tribute show devoted to the music of Genesis, the English rock band, presented by Mama at The Citadel in St Helens.

Genesis formed in 1967 while its members were at Charterhouse School, and the group began with progressive rock, with Peter Gabriel as lead vocalist until 1975. Phil Collins, the band's drummer, then took over at the microphone, and Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford formed the core of the group through the 1980s. The album Invisible Touch (1986) produced Land of Confusion, while Follow You Follow Me, from And Then There Were Three (1978), is among the band's best-known songs.

Mama's Genesis Tribute is a tribute, not a performance by Genesis itself. It is built around the band's catalogue, so the material on stage is by Genesis, performed by another act.

The Citadel in St Helens hosts concerts and shows, and this evening suits listeners who want to hear the songs of one of the most widely covered British bands of the past decades, in a live setting.
