Gordon Giltrap is coming to town


A LEGENDARY guitarist who has played alongside rock heroes including Brian May and Rick Wakeman is set to grace the stage of Uttoxeter Town Hall.
Gordon Giltrap will perform at the historic High Street building, representing quite a coup for organisers in Uttoxeter.
Giltrap is recognised as one of the music industry's finest guitarists.
He had a hit album in the 1970s, Perilous Journey, as well as two big hit singles.
Heartsong and Fear of the Dark both charted in the UK and Heartsong was nominated for an Ivor Novello award.
The track is also famed for becoming the theme to BBC travel show Holiday.
A spokesman for Giltrap said: "Over the years, Gordon has worked with an amazingly broad range of artists, from rock musicians such as Brian May, Rick Wakeman and Midge Ure to the jazz virtuoso Martin Taylor, the classical guitarist Raymond Burley and the London Symphony Orchestra.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
