No Jacket Required

No Jacket Required bring their Phil Collins tribute to the Jim Marshall Auditorium on Saturday 5 December, with a set they're calling Both Sides Of The Hits. It's a long one, too — almost two and a half hours of singles from Collins' solo career and his time fronting Genesis.

The show marks 50 years since Collins stepped up as frontman and lead vocalist, following Peter Gabriel's departure from Genesis in 1975. From there, he spent the equivalent of more than three years in the UK singles chart, with multiple number-one albums, Grammy and Brit awards, and an Oscar-winning Tarzan theme, You'll Be In My Heart. No Jacket Required describe themselves as the UK's leading Phil Collins tribute, and the set runs through that whole stretch of his career.

Among the songs they'll be playing are In The Air Tonight, Invisible Touch, Against All Odds, Easy Lover and Follow You Follow Me — a good cross-section of the solo hits and the Genesis material he fronted. The show is billed as a chronicle of the chart success that followed Gabriel's exit, so it's as much about the timeline as it is about the songs themselves.

Doors open at 7:30pm and the show starts at 8:00pm, with tickets at £25 including the booking fee. That's the Jim Marshall Auditorium in Milton Keynes on Saturday 5 December.
