Some great artists to check out

[mutley2209]

just something i wanted you guys to check out, a guy by the name of Michael Watts, local UK player, think his stuff is great! don't think he pushes his music much, quite laid back, but a great player all the same think he uses a Lowden

here's his website that has info on him and some vids & yes that is an Ervin Somogyi he's playing!

Nice vids!

BTW, how is Andy about taping/videoing? I have a front row ticket for Bristol and was hoping to record.

[mutley2209]

cheers shame i can't see him play this year though Don Ross & Brooke Miller are coming over to the UK in the Autumn so looking forward to that

He's pretty ok with it since youtube has done so much for his career and still does, but it is getting pretty rinsed all the vids up though a good quality vid, well edited from the front row should get plenty of views

[Rick Jones]

Nice vids mate cheers!

Andy Mckee was in Jersey recently, and I couldn't get a ticket....rather bummed was I!

Thanks Mutley!

I'm Welsh too, I was born in Newport, Gwent, and most of my folks still live there...I haven't been back in a good while.

I really dig Maneli Jamal, thanks for the heads up!

I've just discovered Nathan Treadgold too - and yes, he can't half play that Stonebridge! Funny how Cwmbran can come up with two of the best young British guitarists around in NT and Gareth Pearson.

Another player I've just discovered is Simon Fox, an Aussie-born guitarist, based in Canada. The samples on his website are very good. Originally a Lowden player, he switched to Taylor and now to a custom build.
