Paul graduated from Massey University, now part of the New Zealand School of Music, and Alan spent time in the UK studying with William Lloyd Webber at the London College of Music.

 Alan and Paul have had diverse careers that include playing big band jazz, as wedding musicians, as school teachers, sound recording and now radio broadcasting. Alan is a now a full time guitar teacher in Christchurch, and Paul is the Technical Coordinator at Plains FM.

The programme is brought to you by the Christchurch Guitar Society which has been around now for more than 40 years and must be one of Christchurch’s best kept secrets!
