Bert Dockx (Antwerp, 1980) is a Belgian guitarist, singer and composer who trained at the Jazz Studio and the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. He is the driving force behind Flying Horseman - a band he founded in 2008 - and also plays in Dans Dans and Ottla. His music moves between art rock, psychedelia and folk, with a dark, layered sound and personal lyrics. Dockx won the KU Leuven Culture Prize 2015-2016 and has composed music for several theatre companies.
Flying Horseman released their seventh album Anaesthesia on 12 September 2025 via Unday Records, after five years of absence and with a renewed lineup.
Flying Horseman played an exclusive pre-release show on 15 July 2025 at Gent Jazz, the only festival performance before the album release.
Flying Horseman went on the Anaesthesia Release Tour through Belgium in October and November 2025, concluding with a show at Gebouw-T in Bergen op Zoom (Netherlands).
Flying Horseman announced the new album with the single 'Engines'; at the same time it was announced that bassist Mattias Cré and drummer Alfredo Bravo have left the band.
Flying Horseman is scheduled again in 2026 for concerts in various venues.
