In 1976, Genesis released ‘A Trick Of The Tail’.  It was their seventh studio album, but their first without vocalist and founder member Peter Gabriel. 
Having failed to find a suitable replacement, the band's drummer also became their lead singer.  Little did anyone know at the time that he would go on to become a global superstar, and that the next half-century would result in award-winning chart success with the band, and also as a solo artist.  
That man was Phil Collins. 

Fifty years on from that life-changing decision, No Jacket Required are marking the anniversary by performing a show which chronicles the chart success which followed.  Phil Collins has spent the equivalent of more than three years in the Top 20 of the UK singles chart over the course of his award-winning career.  Entitled ‘Both Sides Of The Hits’, the UK’s leading Phil Collins tribute will be performing a two-hour show made up entirely of those Top 20 hit singles from Phil’s solo career and his time as frontman of Genesis.  From Follow You Follow Me to You'll Be In My Heart, the show will span Phil's career and will comprise nothing but the hit singles which have been the soundtrack to our lives.

We can't wait to see you all again, in our own 24th year, to celebrate this special 50th Anniversary by performing the music which we all love.
We will continue to raise money for the homeless through our merchandise sales and collections - you have helped us to raise over £70,000 so far!  
Thank you all, from the band and the YMCA Bridge Trust Project, for your continued generous and humbling support.

Thank you again so much for your support as we and the entertainment industry have navigated through the pandemic and cost of living crisis.
While we we expect these shows to go ahead and will keep you informed, please exercise caution and always check with the venue - thank you!
