Chris Stern is a man who loves guitars. In fact I don’t know anyone with a bigger collection than Chris. He’s a big fan of Ralph Bown, Jim Olson and Jamie Kinscherff but his collection extends way beyond those three wonderful luthiers.

We sat down at the 10th annual gathering of the Acoustic Soundboard UK guitar forum in Halifax in September 2019 and talked about music and guitars.

Richard Knott is a singer-songwriter who loves acoustic guitars. That’s how we hooked up, probably in 2005 at the RMMGA gathering in Buxton, Derbyshire.

We sat down at the 10th annual gathering of the Acoustic Soundboard UK guitar forum in Halifax in September 2019 and talked about sunburst guitars, songwriting, music as therapy, performance anxiety and a whole lot more.

I met Jule Malischke at the Ullapool Guitar Festival in October 2019. She played on the Friday night and was amazing to listen to. The particular highlight for me was her encore, when she played an unamplified cover of Joni Mitchell’s A Case of You. You could’ve heard a pin drop in the auditorium.

We sat down for a chat on the Sunday afternoon. Hope you enjoy it!

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!

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.
