I think this is a very good initiative. Hopefully, it will mark the beginning of the end of today’s social media culture😉

Hi Steve!

That sounds great. I’m looking forward to the direct updates and first-hand news, and I’m already really excited about the album featuring the two brilliant Steves.

Fantastic idea and some great news. Thanks for including me in the plan. :) Very much looking forward to the Hackett colab. CD! It must be quite a treat and an honor to play with the man. Looking forward .....

Hi Steve, this all sounds amazing and I Iove how you engage with us, your fans.🤩 This is a great way to keep in touch with us well after Marillion have come to their natural end (not yet though!) Plus your Patron will provide us with plenty of new content and help us support your solo work.

I think Pendulum is a GREAT title! 👌🏼Who cares if it sounds Prog - you guys aren't going to convert all the non-prog crowd this late into your career! Let's face it - some of the band's best albums have all been one word titles.😊

Any chance of a few tour dates with Steve Hackett when the album is released? Would love to hear Firth of Fifth and Incubus in the same set!

All this AND Postcards part 2?! Ambassador you’re spoiling us 😁

Surely the cover of “Massive Bob” would be an enormous Bob’s Big Boy mascot pendulum, swinging ominously over a London skyline or something.

Sounds like there’s a lot going on. Good to get all this news in one place. Look forward to future updates. 👍👍

brilliant idea Steve what with social media being like the Wild West out there very decentralised! looking forward to hearing your collaboration with SH 🎸and Marillion @ Bristol in September and obviously the forthcoming Marillion album 😅 Best Wishes, Marc Hughes 🍷✨

Hi Steve.

I'm so pleased to learn about this initiative from you and grateful too. So much social media leaves me cold but your Substack sounds as if it will be a valuable insight into your work and your thoughts.

I've actually signed up for the 4 day workshop in Brighton and to say I'm nervous is a real understatement. However, I suspect this will be a one-off opportunity and I'd regret it if I turned it down.

I look forward to seeing you then.

Best wishes

Hi Steve

I'm not a fan of social media, but this looks good. I have just listened to your fantastic interview with Mr Hackett. Listening to the two of you waxing lyrically about guitars is a brilliant idea. Can't wait for further episodes and hopefully many other guitar heroes - any chance of David Gilmour?

Thank you 🎸
