Guitar Heroes 2016


Welcome to the first post of 2016! Just a little one to whet your appetite for what will hopefully come throughout the rest of the year - but I have recently discovered (or been reminded of) several guitarists and their bands that I can't help but share with you all immediately!

To begin with there's just a name, website and recommended album for each artist but more info will arrive soon - and in the meantime listen and look them up!

Also, check out Anna Calvi's incredible version of the David Bowie song, Lady Grinning Soul with Thomas Bartlett on piano on the EP version and 'Glen' tinkling the ivories on this live version. (Read more about the amazing Calvi here.)
