Julia and Christian Zielinski of ARTIS Guitar Duo were booked to play at the 20th Ullapool Guitar Festival in October 2019.

They played a fantastic concert on the Friday night. And what a venue! The festival is held in the Macphail Centre in Ullapool and the theatre is quite intimate. Not to mention the fact that the audience is made up of guitar nerds who know how to keep quiet and listen. The atmosphere was wonderful!

I recorded a conversation with Julia and Christian on the Saturday afternoon and it was really lovely to hear some of their story to complement the music I’d heard the night before. I hope you enjoy listening too!

Rosie Heydenrych of Turnstone Guitars had been on my radar for a while, so naturally I was jumping for joy when I heard that she was coming to the tenth annual gathering of the Acoustic Soundboard UK forum!

I had played one of Rosie’s guitars before, so I knew that their quality was superb. But now I was going to have a chance to try a few more AND get to meet Rosie in person. I was a happy Camser!

We sat down in the dining room of the Imperial Crown Hotel in Halifax and had a good old chinwag. I did record video, but I’m afraid that it didn’t come out very well. It’s all part of the learning curve!

Rosie Heydenrych talked to me at the 10th annual gathering of the Acoustic Soundboard UK in Halifax in September 2019. It was recorded as a video episode, but I made a bit of an arse of the video and so this is audio only. I will make it up to Rosie the next time we meet, at which time I will have upped my game and make some awesome video content for her!

Tristan Seume is one of the UK’s finest fingerstyle players and it was a real treat to hear his playing at the 2019 Ullapool Guitar Festival.

I first met Tristan and heard his playing at the RMMGA gathering in Buxton in Derbyshire, UK back in 2007. He played one of the slots on the Friday or Saturday night and did a workshop too.

Rob's a regular over on Arran. I first met him in 2017 when I supported him in the PHT in Lamlash and we've been corresponding ever since. He came over to play last weekend (16 Nov 2019) and we hung out on the Sunday morning and captured a recording as we walked my dogs. We spoke about his career and got into fear and anxiety and following your heart. This is a good one!

I got a chance to talk to one of the world's finest fingerstyle guitar players, Clive Carroll at the annual RMMGA UK gathering in July 2019. It was lovely talking and even better hearing his playing that night!
