Advantages: A Great Bit of Prog Rock History Disadvantages: It is very definitley Prog Rock
SteveHackett was the guitarist for genesis during their most fruitful period as a proper progressive rock band, joining in 1971 and leaving in late 1977. The reasons for his leaving were a general dissatisfaction with the direction the band was going in and that on his last studio album with them "Wind & Wuthering". In truth his departure from Genesis had been a long time coming and could be traced back to their last album with Peter Gabriel 1974's The Lamb Lies down on Broadway. Steve was the first member of the band to release a solo album in 1975 called "The Voyage of The Acolyte", he was enthused by the freedom of expression that he had on that album, and the willingness of the musicians to go along with his ideas.

Advantages: Tasty, light and fresh. A really good balanced beer. Disadvantages: A little more expensive than some beers.

The Wellie has a choice of up to three Cask Ales and we tried two each ~ Alun had St. Austell Tribute and Jennings Snecklifter and I had Snecklifter and Tribute. My dad tried the Camerons Strongarm and even my lager drinking mother had a half of the Tribute. I?ve already reviewed Snecklifter and Strongarm, so I will now tell you about St. Austell Tribute!
