We just got new photos in! Our last show at Heswall Hall already has a photo gallery (see it here) but our in-house photographer and all round organiser of transport, boxes and sanity Mr. Dave Broome was busy capturing his own take on our show. Some great photos here! Thanks Dave.
We have booked a return date for Heswall Hall, for 2025. Hope to see you there! Thanks to everyone who came down to see us. Much appreciated!

Our recent show at Smile Bar & Venue in Huddersfield saw our very own Photographer, Dave Broome, capturing images of the band in action!
What can we say about Smile? Great new venue, only open a few years! The staff are very passionate about their live music so it was a joy to perform our show here. Thanks to everyone who came down to see us. Much appreciated!

We’ve never done this before…. Posted a video of an entire show in one go! So, we hope you enjoy our set at The Lowry. make sure you switch the video to full HD quality, if it’s not by default.
Special thanks to everyone who turned out to see us. Thanks for also bearing with the emergency services who were rather busy closing all roads leading to the venue. We know it was a lot harder to reach the venue than it should have been, so it’s great that so many of you made it to the show.

Feel free to leave a comment in the comments section below. We\’d love to get your feedback on our show.
We just wanted to thank everyone who came to our show in Wigan. Much appreciated! As always, we had a video camera running at that show, so we pulled out In The Cage Medley from that film and posted it here for everyone to enjoy. The video has ambient audio recorded on the night.
Our next show is also fairly local to Wigan. We\’ll be at The Lowry in Salford, Sunday 26th May 2019. That\’s less than two weeks off! If you want tickets to see the show, stop by the theatre box office here: www.thelowry.com
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who came to see our show at The Floral Pavilion in New Brighton. What a show it was, largely due to the amazing audience. This venue never lets us down.
To celebrate, we’ve put together a quick highlights video that showcases some of the moments from the show – see above! As often as we can, we run a video camera to provide us with footage to share here on our website and this show was no different. If you would like to see a particular song in full from our New Brighton show, please let us know in the comments below. We’ll try our best to get the footage up on the website as fast as we can.
Vote now fellow Genesis fans! 🙂
And finally, don’t forget we have another show coming up this weekend. Saturday 6th October 2018 sees us return to The Core Theatre in Solihull. This is another great venue for us, so grab your tickets now and let’s get another Genesis party going. Hope to see some of you there.
First of all, Happy New Year to all Genesis fans around the globe!
Unfortunately, we are starting 2018 with some bad news. We will be cancelling our shows in Holland on the 5th & 6th January. Unfortunately, one of the guys in the band has a health situation which prevents them from getting to the show and performing on stage. We have tried very hard to sign up a replacement over the last four days when it became clear we couldn’t make the shows happen but we’ve been unsuccessful.
We do realise of course that this is the second time we have had to call off our Holland shows and believe us when we say, nobody is more disappointed than the band. We were all really looking forward to what would have been an amazing trip overseas together, to perform the music we love. We fully appreciate how disappointed many people who have bought tickets for these shows will be but we want you to know it wasn’t for lack of trying.
So to all concerned, please accept our profound apologies for the situation. We’ll do our best to rectify things as and when we can.
Please contact the local box office / place you bought your tickets for a refund. We will of course keep you appraised if the shows end up yet again rescheduled.
Mama to perform their 2017 show at The Old Courts in WiganIt’s time to start promoting the next show and to do just that, we have some videos from our previous show at The Picturedrome in Holmfirth. We had a great time at that one!
So, here’s the date for your diary; Saturday 21st October 2017
If you want tickets for the show, you can buy them from Eventbrite here: www.eventbrite.co.uk
As you will no doubt be aware (if you attended our Holmfirth show), Jules signed up to do a charity walk in Chester over the weekend just gone. She did a bit of a collection at Holmfirth and the audience very generously donated £110.00 to The Brain Tumour Charity. Jules had this to say:
“Yesterday I took part in the Twilight Walk in Chester in aid of The Brain Tumour Charity in memory of Dale Bellis, who was a very close friend of all involved in Mama and friend of many who came to not only Mama gigs but other Genesis tributes as well. The audience at our Holmfirth gig on Friday very kindly donated £110, which I am very grateful for. As a group, Dales family and friends have raised around £2500.00. Thanks to everyone who supported us.”
So there you have it. Good news for our next gig, our charity efforts and now…. more good news with three videos from our recent show. First up is Ripples (above), which we closed the first half of the show with. There’s a bit of patter about the charity at the beginning too. After that, we have Follow You Follow Me, which seems appropriate, given the charity walk. Finally, we have Home By The Sea (Part 1). We realised this particular song hasn’t been featured much on our website, so we thought we’d post it.
Hope you enjoy the videos! Don’t forget to book your tickets for The Old Courts, Wigan! 🙂
Holmfirth show approaches!It’s four days to our show at The Picturedrome in Holmfirth (Friday 29th September 2017). If you’ve not already got your tickets, grab them now. It’s going to be a rip-roaring return to the stage for Mama!

If you were wondering what was going on at Mama HQ, we understand. We were too! We decided to collar John W and ask him for the lowdown. It turned into a bit of an interview, so we thought we’d publish the whole thing here. Enjoy!
MW: Hi John! How’s things?
JW: Good thanks! Glad to be back in rehearsals after our break.
MW: Yes that was because John Comish‘s son was injured in Australia?
JW: Yes he suffered a life threatening injury a week before our planned shows in Holland. John was told to get himself and his family over there as soon as possible and of course that always comes before anything else. John was out there for three months and thankfully his son survived, which of course was a huge relief to us all. The venues were superb and as they were the first shows we had cancelled with them they fully understood the reasons why.
