THE UK GUITAR SHOW

As the clock ticks on, the UK Guitar Show gets bigger and bigger, with some of the top names in guitar ready to share their wares. Big players including Fender, PRS, Marshall, Vox, Takamine, Yamaha, Line 6, Ernie Ball, Blackstar and Mooer will all be on hand with the latest gear for you to play.

The show also marks the perfect opportunity to introduce yourself to some of the finest up-and-coming brands in the United Kingdom, too, including the likes of Flattley Guitar Pedals, Reiver Guitars, Stone Wolf Guitars, Yellowrock Amplifiers and much more.

You can also expect a host of mind-blowing artists to make an appearance at the show. Already confirmed are Irish blues-rocker Simon Mcbride and fingerstyle folk legend Martin Simpson, plus Guitar Techniques editor Neville Marten, That Pedalshow’s Mick Taylor and Guitarist editor Jamie Dickson performing a set of Cream and Jimi Hendrix classics on the main stage. And there’s plenty more to be announced…

Brought to you by the organisers of the London Drum Show and the London Bass Guitar Show, and in association with our sister titles Guitarist, Guitar techniques and Musicradar, the UK Guitar Show is set to celebrate all things guitar. There will be guitar lessons with top tutors for players of all abilities, with TG’S own tutors on hand to help you improve and learn new techniques – you can even show them off in one of the open-mic jam spaces around the event. There will also be in-depth panel discussions where you can ask your burning questions, not to mention the Guitar Garage, where you can get your guitar playing and sounding better than ever.

Gearheads will certainly be spoiled for choice during the event with a host of vintage gear showcases and the incredible period-correct rigs employed by the Seven Decades stage show. There’s also the chance to delve into the storied past of British guitar companies with the 60 Years Of British Tone showcase, which will play host to legendary hardware from the past six decades.

What’s more, the UK Guitar Show will also stage the live final of Guitarist Of The Year on 29 September, which coincides with this year’s World Guitar Day, as well as finals for Acoustic Guitarist Of The Year and Young Guitarist Of The Year. Make no mistake, this will be the guitar event of the year. Keep checking our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts for the latest updates.
