If you are a fan of this guy's super tasteful tone and playing then he needs no introduction. If you don't know his music or playing then perhaps now would be a good time to start, or else just go back to listening to Joe Bonamassa (because everyone says that he's great - yawn)!!!! Been a huge...

Dear MTWA Folk, Alejandro Escovedo: I saw this guy and his band at the No Depression Festival just outside Seattle last August - verdict: blown away!! Wanted to give you all a heads up on this acoustic Blues gig that I am booked for at The Jazz Cafe (Camden) and possibly Buckingham and/or...

Okay I can't keep quiet on this any longer!! Last Thursday my girlfriend sprung a surprise on me with a visit to Lollar Guitars on Vashon Island during my stay in Seattle!! We were greeted by General Manager, Greg Timmons (ex-Music Man) and given a 90 minute tour of their boutique pickup making...

The great man has recently downsized his property and is being forced to do the same with his guitars apparently: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Custom-Shop-Jerry-Donahue-Telecaster-NUMBER-1-/120593936032?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item1c13f56ea0...

Hi Folks, Gerry Jablonski (Polish extraction but hails from Aberdeen) is a superb guitar player in the Pat Travers/Gary Moore style of full-on heavy riffing and Bluesy solos. He also is a great showman to boot in the way of Robin Bibi & Del Bromham (STRAY) - always moving around the stage on...

Hi Guys, Quick heads-up, I'll be there for sure!! Some of you will already know that Allan is also playing at Ronnie Scott's this Friday and Saturday for a 75 minute or so set for expensive money (I'm going on the Saturday, 1st house), suggest that you see him at Sutton instead for a much...

I first heard this dreadful (but not entirely unexpected) news on LBC Radio (London Talk/News radio station) in the early hours of Monday morning. I am absolutely devasted as RJD was always my favourite heavy rock/metal vocalist bar none - I came to hear his work first with Rainbow, then Black...

"They veer towards the rocky side of the Blues, but are clearly Blues based and play in a punchy style with musicianship of the highest quality. They can be proud of writing and performing some of the most powerful, original blues/rock music of this generation?. Blues Matters Magazine...

"It's exactly seventy years today since Britain declared war on Germany. At 11.15am on September 3 1939, prime minister Neville Chamberlain admitted to the nation in a sombre radio broadcast that his "long struggle to win peace" had failed. Hours later, France issued its own ultimatum to...

No affiliation with the seller (although they do happen to live locally to me). I was potentially interested in this guitar until I was informed that it has a slimmer Gibson 1960's neck profile. Still it looks pretty clean and comes with the original hard case...

Hi Folks, Just picked up a set of reliced Lollar Imperial low wind PAF clones from e-bay. Haven't installed them in a guitar yet (and probably won't for some time if the truth be told). However they have been very positively reviewed in various UK & US guitar mags and with heavily aged covers...

Hi Tokai Forum Folks, Today I have a question that has been troubling me for some time. May I ask how fellow forum members (particularly with multiple guitars, around ten or so) actually store their guitars? I am currently in the process of rejigging my music room (AKA: bedroom) and with 9...
