A good friend of the Guitar Festival (John Miller from Seattle)
once said that looking after guitar players over a weekend was like herding cats. You
could say that about programming one! This year I’ve had a lot of help from John
Montague (Monty’s Music) without whom….
The Guitar Day in 2007 was a great success – we’ll steal a
few ideas from that for this year! – and we’re thrilled, not to say relieved, to
present another line-up of first class guitar players from around the world. From the UK
we have some of the finest from the north, the south, the midlands and Wales, alongside
visitors from South Africa and the US. And that includes well known guitarists like Andy
Fairweather Low, Martin Simpson and Michael Chapman ably complemented by less well known
players like Kevin Brown, Guy Buttery and Steve Hicks. Dare I say it? – we’re in
for a treat! David Popple Stamford Guitar Festival
