GuitarFest 2014
Whether you’re a guitarist or not, there are plenty of tempting events to check out this week at GuitarFest 2014. This Thursday 2nd Oct, there will be a very useful free talk by a PRS representative on “Rights and Royalties: how songwriters can make a living from their music”.
On Friday evening, singer and guitar legend Martin Simpson (as recently featured in Davy Knowles’ documentary ‘Island Bound’) will perform with guest support from popular Manx duo, Strengyn; plus there will be a solo musical extravaganza with Andy North followed by Manx music session in Amber Bar later that same evening.
Saturday sees the return of Flamenco virtuoso Juan Martin and Chaparro de Malaga, and Steve Amos and friends on Sunday evening. Culture Vannin are also supporting a workshop for guitarists who would like to learn the secrets of accompanying Manx folk music.

On Saturday 4th Oct, you can learn to accompany Manx tunes in a ‘Trad guitar accompaniment techniques’ workshop presented by Paul Rogers of Strengyn. Due to space constraints this event is limited to 25 people (bring your own guitar!) £5. Buy tickets here
