Guitar Greats Duo Come to Chidham

Two of the most talented and respected guitarists of their genre are appearing locally this October, as part of Wemsfest's Autumn schedule.

Gordon Giltrap (MBE) has played with such household names as Elton John, Cliff Richard, Paul McCartney, Brian May and Rick Wakeman. His single Heartsong, used for many years as BBC TVs Holiday programmes theme tune, and was nominated or an Ivor Novello award. His composition for ITVs travel programme Wish You Were Here was used for many years, and Fear of The Dark was the first 12-inch colour picture disc released in the UK and is a collectors item.

After early inspiration from such diverse greats as Hank Marvin, Jimi Hendrix and Django Reinhardt, John Etheridge has since become a guitar great himself, and has worked with guitarist John Williams; Stephane Grappelli, Nigel Kennedy, Soft Machine and many others.

Together they form a supremely talented duo and are sure to provide a highly enjoyable evening, encompassing music from their respective careers.
