GEFF HARRISON - more than half a century on the stages of this world

Twenty Sixty Six And Then existed from 1970 to 1972, a very short period only in the long musical career of singer Geff Harrison. The history and fortunes of 2066AT are highlighted in the eclipsed issue 05/2017. But this is about Geff Harrison, who started with music in the early 60s, moved to Germany and still lives in Hamburg today. His German has a British accent, but is otherwise perfect. It is significant that there is a German Wikipedia entry about him, but no English Wikipedia entry.

Again and again Harrison apologizes in conversation that he may be telling too much. But not a trace of it - highly entertaining, what he gives for the best, and highly sympathetic, how he gives for the best. The result is a portrait of a man who lives music and cannot let it go.

eclipsed: Your Wikipedia entry specifies two possible birth cohorts. 1947 or 1948. You now have the opportunity to tell the truth.

With AYREON, Arjen Lucassen is focusing more on catchability this time without running into shallow waters. His recipe for success: exquisite melodies, stylistic variety from metal to folk and medieval, opulent arrangements and, as always, a top group of singers led by Dream Theaters James LaBrie.
