Brighton Sussex Travel

Interview: Progressive Rock Linchpin Steve Hackett Talks Genesis, Creativity, Travel & The Future Brighton-based musician, promoter and studio owner, Stuart Avis, recently sat down with Steve Hackett, who, as one fifth of Genesis during their 1970's prime prog phase, has gone on to build himself a reputation as one of rock's leading and most innovative guitarists.

The first settlement in the Brighton area was Whitehawk Camp, a Neolithic encampment on Whitehawk Hill which has been dated to between 3500 BC and 2700 BC. It is one of six causewayed enclosures in Sussex. Archaeologists have only partially explored it, but have found numerous burial mounds, tools and bones, suggesting it was a place of some importance.

Opened in 1899 and home to fairground rides, bars, restaurants and deckchairs to enjoy the sea view.
