Tom Wright: A Young Musician With A Great Future!
Tom Wright is a young musician, living in Peterborough UK, who has a great future!
From an early
age, Tom was brought up on rockabilly and country music from both of his
parents, going to see bands as often as he could, along with watching his dad's
band.
At 7
years old, his dad bought him his first guitar, a 3/4 size acoustic, and taught
him a few chords. He eventually played it so much, he had worn a hole through
the guitar body! He then progressed to get an electric guitar, and started
listening to guitarists such as Albert Lee, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Brad Paisley
and Keith Urban, trying to emulate their tone, licks and phrasing.
By 14,
he was already travelling up and down the country, playing professionally with
shows like the Johnny Cash Story, a tribute to Lonnie Donegan, and an original
country band called Midwezt.
At 17,
he joined the Elio Pace band, of which had been BBC Radio 2's house band for
the previous 2 years. He is still playing for Elio, and they are currently
touring all around the UK performing the music of Billy Joel, in The Billy Joel
Songbook.
Tom also
fronts his own band and his first solo album is due for release on June 29th.

Collector’s Choice™ #16 1959 Les Paul "Redeye"
Collector’s Choice™ #16 1959 Les Paul "Redeye"
Gibson Custom is proud to announce Collector’s Choice™
#16 1959 Les Paul “Redeye”—as the latest instrument in a series dedicated to
recreating the look, feel, tone and vibe of some of guitar history’s rarest
instruments.
Collector’s Choice™ #16 is the long-time sidekick of Ed
King, co-writer of the southern-rock classic “Sweet Home Alabama” and veteran
of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Strawberry Alarm Clock. King agreed to work with the team
at Gibson Custom to recreate his “Collector’s Choice” Les Paul.
The team, which includes Gibson Custom Historic Manager
Edwin Wilson, was stunned by the beauty and well-preserved look of King’s
cherished instrument. “The top on this thing is crazy, and its condition is
actually quite incredible,” observes Wilson. “Once we plugged it in, the rare
mix of feel and tone that lay beneath the surface proved this guitar as
well-rounded an example of a rare ’59 burst as we have ever had the pleasure to
re-create.”
I want one!

Introducing Steve Yarrington-Jazz Guitarist:
Introducing Steve Yarrington-Jazz
Guitarist: Now available for bookings in the UK
Steve’s style centre’s on the “swing”
of the earliest electric guitarists in jazz.
His approach is to strip down the “Big Band” genre, to show how these
guitarists might have sounded “swinging” with just a trio.
Steve currently has three jazz guitar
albums on release - available through iTunes and Amazon - which offer an
eclectic mix of tunes, many of which are his own compositions, but all played
with Steve’s “swinging” style.
Steve and his team have been concentrating on promotion in the USA, where Steve’s music is extensively played on-air and receives very favourable responses from listeners, both in the USA and around the world.
Album review: “In ‘Sketches’, Steve
interprets familiar tunes…in a new light, giving them new accents. Steve Yarrington: the name is definitely in
my future ‘Jazz Bag’ – I like!”
“Swing Jazz at its best: Steve Yarrington –
Sketches” (Marcus Muller – eezyvibes 23.01.13)
Steve is now available for bookings,
either as a solo performer (using resident drummer and double bass player); or
with his own trio. He is also available for guitar workshops at festivals, as
required.
Also Steve’s music is now available for
review.
