Gomm Mailout Spring 2010
Hello all!
Lots of stuff to tell you about:
1) The 2010 Guitar Night
Leeds Guitar Night is back! I will be playing a set, and my guests this year are true masters of the acoustic guitar, revered by their fellow players around the world. Pino Forastiere http://www.myspace.com/forastiere - regarded in the US as one of the most important guitarists of the past decade, Pino rarely plays in the UK, and he is travelling from Rome 'specially for me! And Stuart Ryan http://www.stuartryan.co.uk/ - Guitar Techniques Magazine's resident acoustic guru and a master of many (many!) styles. This is going to be an unforgettable concert.
The Leeds Concert will take place at the Brudenell Social Club on Friday May 14th. Tickets are onsale here: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/71479 And the concert has its own website here: http://www.myspace.com/leedsguitarnight
And the line-up was so good, we're also putting on Guitar Night concerts in London and Bristol! The London Guitar Night will be on Thursday May 13th, go here for details: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/71942 And Bristol Guitar Night will be on Wednesday May 19th, details are here: http://www.ashkeysmusic.com/
2) Leeds Guitar Masterclass
There will also be an amazing one-day Guitar Masterclass, on Sunday May 16th in Leeds, featuring myself, Pino and Stuart. An unmissable opportunity for acoustic guitarists of all abilities to learn directly from these world-class pros! More info here: http://www.jongomm.com/masterclass

Other stuff!
I want to say a huge THANKYOU/GRAZIE/DANKE/BEDANKT/etc.. to everyone who has bought my new album Don't Panic over the past couple of months, it's been really great that so many people have wanted it, and said they like it! And if you haven't got one, you can still buy it from iTunes (UK/Europe) or Candyrat (US) at http://www.jongomm.com :)
I'll be recording some new video footage this month, which will be on youtube soon (and tab will be available too). I'm not sure which songs people want to see, so let me know! Topeka seems most popular so far...
I've been covered in the media a bit recently, if you haven't seen them my three favourite bits are from The Sunday Express, The Rasen Mail and Acoustic Magazine: they are all linked on my News page http://www.jongomm.com/news.html
OK, that's all for now, and I hope I see you at a gig or masterclass sometime. If you want to ask a question or get in touch just email me back or reach me via a social network:
