Re: Acoustic partial capo column
Jon, There is some very detailed info on Wikipedia if you look up Partial Capo - "Guitarist Jerry Faires says that in 1967 a guy by the name of Carr came into his St. Louis area coffee shop sporting a Bill Russell capo with the two ends sawn off so the high and low E strings were open." So...

Acoustic partial capo column
This month's Acoustic magazine has a great article by Gordon on the partial capo and has spurred me to pass on a few interesting recent developments I have come across, to anyone interested in experimenting with these devices. Presently there are many great capo manufactures and some of my own favou...

Re: N Ireland Date
For regular readers to the forum I thought it would be worthwhile adding a short review of the recent Belfast gig just for the record: This event was held in quite a compact venue but was filled with an enthusiastic and responsive audience. Gordon had an issue with his pedal board power supply prior...

Re: N Ireland Date
Keeping very well Gordon, thanks. Looking forward to meeting up again too. The weather forecast is wet but mild for most of the coming week over here - it is good to know these things in advance when travelling! - just bring instrument, plectrum, partial capo and an umbrella... See you Thursday. Bes...

N Ireland Date
Good to see another visit back to N. Ireland on the concert schedule - looking forward to the performance. (I think the last visit was for the Lifetime Achievement Award ?).

Hello Sue, I would imagine that English and Mathematics etc are still not as much fun... However - it is still pretty amazing that in a very short space of time you can easily record something,video the process and share it with people around the world - I think that inspires students to be creative...

Winter Blues
Many readers here will know Gordon is a patron of the RGT and great advocate of encouraging young and old to learn the guitar. Winter 2010 has proved quite challenging for most of us - one issue relating to schools has been cancelled events and performances. In one school I teach guitar in I had pre...

Tommy Fest
Sue, My pleasure - nice to meet you in person too - thanks for sharing cakes and conversation ! The Harrow Arts concert was a super way to end what had been for me quite a busy day. I think what stood out in this concert was the way all the artists engaged the audience with their performances. Thats...

Tommy Fest
Anyone going to the Tommy Fest event in Harrow Arts Centre ?
Workshops and concert by both Gordon and Tommy E - I'm flying over from N Ireland to go on the 7th March - really looking forward to the event.

Award
Folks, My first post on this forum. I was fortunate enough to be at the Ards Festival and hope the photos help paint a picture of the evening (though the lighting in the hall was quite low). It was a very enjoyable evening and the Award is a great achievement for Gordon which he humbly and graciousl...
