Editorial 01/2021 – 30 is just a number!

You may remember: Ten years ago, we celebrated our 20th anniversary with all kinds of gimmicks, greetings, self-portrayals, we let you have your say, showed great and embarrassing moments from 20 years of club work in a photo gallery, published an anniversary booklet and another fan club CD. The website special is of course still online – here. Then, five years ago, there was a small update for the silver anniversary. Now it's been thirty years, and for various reasons, we've decided not to launch a big anniversary campaign. And that actually has nothing to do with Genesis being back on tour.

Of course, you will have questions… What will happen to all the projects we have been working on for years? Will there be an anniversary event? How long will we actually continue doing this?

30th anniversary event?

We are definitely interested in organizing another event. Of course, we have also been affected by the coronavirus pandemic and have therefore not been able to make significant progress with the project so far. We hope that we will be able to revive the hub of the Genesis world in Welkers once again. However, there will be no announcement about this in the near future. We ask for your patience.

Tour database

Believe it or not, Peter is currently working with a club member, whose identity we are keeping secret for the time being, on a comprehensive database of all Genesis tours and shows. We don't know exactly when it will be finished. But Peter is now retired and has plenty of time for such projects… and there is another related project…

Website-Relaunch

The website is also getting on in years. We have planned another, perhaps final, relaunch. Given the wealth of content on the website, this project and its implementation are very time-consuming.

Phil Collins Recording Compendium …

… Steffen has already started on this, but it is unlikely that this project will be finalized on the current website structure.

Album of the month

… Oh dear, still Christian's trauma. However, now that Track Of The Week is slowly but surely coming to its natural end, the Album of the Month will also arrive. After all, there were a few tests a few months ago. We'll stay tuned…

Special for the Genesis Tour?

Genesis are coming to Germany in 2022. We were asked if we could offer a shirt for this occasion again. This brings back memories of 2007 – and a certain trauma. We're afraid we don't have the time for that…

… what else is there to say?

"Thank you," for example. Not only are we still here, but so are you. You are still interested, and we still want to do things that go beyond the latest news and reviews. Many of you have participated over the years and supported the fan club with content and/or financially.

Oh, and we've now expanded the Family Snapshots photo gallery to include photos up to 2021. Have fun browsing through 30 years of fan club history.

See you soon!

Christian, Helmut, Peter, and Bernd
