The next concert will be on Saturday - yes Saturday - 22nd August 2009.John Jorgenson - Saturday 22nd August - places £12.50 This will feature guitar great John Jorgenson with his electric band. Over on the UK to play the Great British Blues Festival, Croperdy Festival and Monaghan Festival I am delighted that he has agreed to come an entertain us for an evening. John's highest profile probably comes from his time with Elton John but he has been at the top of the tree for a long time. In 1994 Elton John called and invited John on an 18-month world tour. The 18 months stretched into a six-year period that included not only sold out world tours, but also recordings, television appearances, and collaborations with many other artists including Sting and Billy Joel. In additiona to acoustic and electric guitars, John was also featured on saxophone, pedal steel, mandolin and vocals. John first came to national prominence in the mid 1980's with The Desert Rose Band, which he co-founded with Chris Hillman. The band earned five # 1 singles and garnered several awards. During this time, John won the ACM's "Guitarist of the Year" award three consecutive times. Following the Desert Rose Band, John formed another award-winning group, the virtuosic guitar trio The Hellecasters. Originally conceived as a "one off" gig for fun, the group went on to produce three acclaimed CDs and a live video, winning both "Album of the Year" and "Country Album of the Year" from the readers of Guitar Player Magazine for the stunning debut effort Return of the Hellecasters, released in 1993. Although John Jorgenson is well-renowned in the pop, country and rock world, gypsy jazz is the style of music closest to his heart. Because of his international reputation as a gypsy jazz player, John was twice asked to recreate Django Reinhardt's music for feature films, Gattica and Head in The Clouds. The latter, released in early 2005 and starring Charlize Theron and Penelope Cruz, features John on camera as Django Reinhardt, complete with burned hand and gypsy moustache. As ever you can book by e-mail or phone 07510 299274. Payment should be made to Tom Rankin, 7 The Green, Nettleham, Lincoln, LN2 2NR. |
