It's been another busy month at Guitar School as we finish off preparing for the first examinations of 2015. I’d like to wish Andrew Gerrard, Daniel Fauset, Jasmine Lloyd and Nathan Greaves the very best of luck for their exams this spring.
In March I handed out our annual awards to recognise achievement over the past academic year 2014/15. Joshua Shaw was honoured Guitarist Of The Year for the second year running, Lewis-Lee Price picked up our Most Improved Player and Jasmine Lloyd was awarded Best Newcomer. Keep up the amazing work your all putting in, it's really paying off for you all!
I myself have been busy arranging some tour dates for the incredibly talented Billy Bibby (Former Catfish and the Bottlemen). His new
material takes on an acoustic vibe and his shows are very captivating. In April and May you will be able to catch Billy at these following venue’s -
Chester Commonhall Social - 17th April
Mancot White Bear - 18th April
Wrexham Rewind Bar - 23rd April
Manchester Night & Day Cafe - 24th April
Mold Glasfryn - 26th April
Holywell Old Wine Vaults - 15th May
Watergates Bar - 22nd May
Colwyn Heights Pen Y Bryn - 24th May
New transcriptions this time round come in the form of Bruce Springsteen Thunder Road, Fleetwood Mac Big Love, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts I Love Rock N' Roll and Damian Rice 9 Crimes. All guitar TABs and piano scores are now up on our website under Shop/Sheet Music for you to download.
Other big news this month, comes as I enter our Guitarist Of The Year Joshua Shaw for the brand new Sky Arts TV program 'Guitar Star'. You can watch Josh's audition video for the show at www.facebook.com/guitarschooluk. I'm sure you'll all join me in wishing Josh the very best of luck!
Keep rockin'! :)
