Castle Hall, Hertford - 28 July 2007

Absolute intricate accuracy.

A wonderful nostalgic journey back to that magical early 70's era.

Over two hours of sheer bliss.

Richard Samways


Half Moon, Putney - 8 July 2007

I came away from your gig on cloud nine.

[We saw Genesis at Twickenham], but Genesis In The Cage WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY.

Dave Ballantyne


Half Moon, Putney - 8 July 2007

You gave this fabulous music a new (but sonically faithful) life.

Your gig was just wonderful.

Jeremy Filsell


Mick Jagger Centre, Dartford - 31 March 2007

Neil Chick


Huntingdon Hall, Worcester - 3 March 2007

Thanks GITC for your dedication, time and everything else that involves putting such amazing shows.

Pia Matozza


Mr Kyps, Poole

The tingling feeling!

The musicianship was excellent, the light-show was brilliant and the costumes just gave that extra touch of realism.

This was just a really tremendous night.

Rich Corvin


The Abbey Theatre, Nuneaton

The full impact of the Mellotron's wonderful and unique sound hit us straight away with the opening section of Watcher Of The Skies, and things just got better and better.

All [tracks] were played with great care and attention to detail by all in the band.

My own thanks again to Henry and Mark, and Trevor for being so approachable after around three hours on stage. It was very much appreciated.

John Chivers


The Royal British Legion, Hereford

Me mates and I were gobsmacked at your fabulous renditions.

Despite The Old Harp's cock up you chaps made the best of the British Legion.

A fantastic evening of first class music.

Dave Brand


The Renfrew Ferry, Glasgow

To say it was a memorable concert would be a massive understatement - WHAT A SHOW!!!!!!!!

"Can this GET any better?!?!" Absolutely wonderful stuff. Twenty five minutes of some of the best progressive rock music to have been recorded over the past thirty five years, all reproduced to perfection - what MORE could you want from a concert?!?!?

Nigel Kenny


The Pavilion, Westgate

I defy anybody not to enjoy the show.

These guys think about what they're doing to an almost obsessive level and I thank them for it!

£12 for over 3 and a half hours of spectacular musical entertainment left us all well satisfied.

Jez Holme


The Oyster Fleet Hotel, Canvey Island

What I heard that night left me utterly, utterly stunned.

I was transported back to that magical time when I first came across this tremendous music.

The level of musicianship is superb across the band and the overall sound and presentation is staggering!

Note perfect does not begin to do it justice.

Martin Willis


The Woodville Halls Theatre, Gravesend

Their whole sound is so close to the original.

I don't think Genesis themselves could perform any better!

Greeeeaat performance - keep up the good work!

Roger Fowler


The Hall, Smarden

...every time I see these guys they get better and better.

I took 3 kids under the age of 15 to a show playing music 30 years old and they loved it and wanted more even though the band played for the best part of 3 hours.

Anybody turning down the chance to see these guys next time out are missing out on a remarkable bunch of musicians who do Genesis complete justice.

Jez Holme


The Playhouse Theatre, Whitstable

...I was absolutely amazed at the technical brilliance...

...the whole evening was an amazing tribute to the complete reign of Genesis...

Long may they continue.

Claire Gilbert


The Playhouse Theatre, Whitstable

...the performance was all brilliant...

...the whole theatre screaming the words and chucking their heads about as if we were all suddenly 16 again...

...if you get the chance to see In The Cage live DON'T MISS IT...

Jane Davies


The Devonport Theatre, Plymouth

...an energy which brought a tingle to the spine...

...finished with shouts for more and a standing ovation...

...for anyone who likes early Genesis, In The Cage is a fantastic gig by a group who love the music themselves, maybe that's what makes them special...

Stephen Rowell


The Roadhouse, Birmingham

This was the fourth time I have seen them within twelve months and on each successive occasion they have improved.

There is no doubt in my mind that they are now the premier Genesis tribute band.

If you haven’t yet seen them make it a priority - it is a show not to be missed.

Dave Gooding


The Horn, St Albans

Three hours of non-stop, pure nostalgia brought back so many memories of my teenage years.

How you managed to re-create that Genesis sound so closely still amazes me.

It's difficult to single out one song above the rest as the whole set was executed brilliantly.

Paul Soper


The Limelight Club, Crewe

The audience knew they were in for a treat.

A staggering level of musicianship.

The book of Genesis was opened and ignited the soul.

Andy Banks


The Fleece & Firkin, Bristol

Saturday night provided the second opportunity for me to see the new In The Cage line-up. I'm happy to report that new arrival Shaun Hunt on bass/twelve string/bass pedals is settling in very well.

Technically this was one of the best performed In The Cage gigs I've seen.

Thanks lads and I hope that the Fleece have the sense to book you again.

Graham Smith


The Grand, Leigh-on-Sea

A fantastic performance! The quality of the musicianship was outstanding, as was the showmanship

This was a genuinely authentic Genesis experience, which was unbelievably close to listening to Seconds Out or Three Sides Live

Chris Morris


The Spirit of '66, Verviers

3 hours of old time Genesis, divided into two parts.

One after the other, the songs were caressing our memories, stimulating us to participate in the show.

Great gig guys, hope to see you back in Belgium.

Staf Pypen


The Roadhouse, Birmingham

What a bloody fantastic night!

I was back there again, two decades ago and just a few miles down the road at the NEC.

Keep up the good work guys.

Martin Winstanley


The Hare and Hounds, Birmingham

The quality of the playing and enthusiasm was fantastic.

This is what live music should be like.

Can't wait for December.

Andy Simpson
