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.

Unfortunately can't make weekend Fest but Fiona and I are looking forward to seeing Mr.E on Tuesday 9th March at De Montfort Hall in Leicester.
Take care all,
Keith
Hi Keith.
What a shame we won't see you both...ALWAYS a joy to see your smiling face at my concerts.
My best to you Both.

A great time was had by all at TommyFest yesterday. Tommy was on top form and bursting with energy as always - I enjoy watching the faces of Tommy "virgins" trying to get their heads around what they are seeing ! No "Initiation" played though, which was a shame.
Our very own Gordon was also in great shape, giving a workshop and then opening the evening concert to great applause. Dodo being the scene stealer here as usual - this being so completely different from the other music that was played over the weekend won him many new fans.
There was a large GG contingent in the audience, special mentions must go to:
The great guitarist John Etheridge, member of 4 Parts Guitar
Rob and Sheila Armstrong ( Gordons guitar maker, Tommy virgins no longer )
Jacqui and Larry ( celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary that night )
Geoff and Cath Olner - down from Sheffield
David Millar - flew over from N. Ireland ( nice to finally meet you ! )
Rick and Val Payman ( long time no see )
A young man ( sorry missed your name ) down from Glasgow, who is now a confirmed GG fan
Apologies if I missed anyone off the list !!
Perhaps someone, David maybe ? would like to write a proper review for the website ??
Cheers

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 what it really is all about.
Two jokes from stage I will remember - Tommy's banjo/star trek line and Gordon's partial capo line (first showed GG one of these in Newtownards a few years back I believe).
I had seen Frank Vignola and his trio last year perform with Tommy in the US so had a fair idea what to expect - really slick and tight - some amazing chordal and solo lines from these guys. It was also a treat for me to see Gordon's performance with a more complete array of instruments as I know there are often practical restrictions on what it is possible to bring when traveling overseas.
It was a pleasure to be there and made feel welcome too.
Best regards,
David

Tommyfest, Harrow
I just wanted to say how much my wife, my son and I enjoyed the performances on Sunday night. What a terrific line-up! Gordon Giltrap, Tommy and (unexpected bonus) the Frank Vignola Trio!! There's little else to say, except that it was fan-blinkin'-tastic!

Dear Richard.
THANKYOU.
