Welcome

First held in August 2008, the Isle of Man & Manx Grand Prix "GuitarFest" was conceived as a long weekend of fantastic music for guitar lovers, featuring not only concerts but workshops and master-classes with top international stars. Scheduled to coincide with the end of the Manx Grand Prix, it's both a hit with residents and gives visiting race fans the chance to round off their stay on the Island with a feast of great live music. Naturally, non-bikeoholics are equally welcome to come and enjoy the atmosphere!

Guitar music embraces so many genres and playing styles, all with their own unique appeal. That's why we aim to offer an eclectic mix at GuitarFest, from rock, blues and folk to jazz, world and classical.

For GuitarFest 2010, we are delighted to welcome ... The Hamsters (playing Jimi Hendrix as part of the 40th anniversary commemorative tour), Dan Arborise making his Isle of Man debut, the Modern Guitar Trio featuring Roland Chadwick and Wingin� It (Adam Bulley and Chas MacKenzie).

Dan, Roland, Adam and Chas will be offering master-classes or workshops during the weekend, including one designed exclusively for mandolin players, so come along, meet fellow musicians and be inspired!

We really look forward to having you with us at the Isle of Man & Manx Grand Prix GuitarFest 2010!
