Three outstanding guitarists in their own right coming together to create a memorable evening of virtuoso guitar music, including some inspired jamming together.
GB3 - Voyager (Multi cam)
Sounds familiar? The G3 guitar evening format was established by the like of Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Eric Johnson and, long before them, acoustic virtuosos McLaughlin, Di Meola and de Lucia rocked out together on a Friday Night in San Francisco.
GB3 - Toccata and Fugue in D Minor (Multi cam)
So, what’s different about GB3?
How about combining epic, emotive, symphonic rock music with reinterpretations of well loved classical pieces played with unbelievable dexterity and traditional Celtic reels, jigs and airs translated into powerful electric guitar explorations? Throw in some atmospheric soundscapes, virtuoso solo piano, loopstation jamming on bouzouki, plus one of the most accomplished, jaw dropping solo bassists on the planet (the WHOLE of Bohemian Rhapsody on solo bass?!) and you begin to get the picture.
GB3 - America (Multi cam)
Not just for guitar geeks; a GB3 concert is an engaging, compelling musical experience for anyone who loves music that challenges the usual stylistic boundaries. Virtuosic, yes. But also inspiring, entertaining, moving and uplifting
GB3 - Angel Of God (Multi cam)
GB3 - three great guitarists from the UK plus one astonishing bassist. Go and see them - you won’t be sorry.

RSI and Video stuff
We have been working hard to bring you a really cool gig, and last week I had RSI (repetetive strain injury) so after a week of no playing, I've made a full recovery and we are ready to pull out all the stops!
I also have someone working on videos and projection for the gig, so it will be pretty atmospheric!
This gig is all about experiencing uplifting music that explores the cutting edge of the expressive possibilities of the electric guitar. Prepare to be entertained and amazed by performers Paul Bielatowicz, Dave Bainbridge and Dave Brons as they each perform pieces that stretch the boundaries of the guitar repertoire. The gig will be at 7 Arts in Leeds, an intimate all seated venue that is well known for its arty ambience and its great Jazz gigs.
Paul Bielatowicz is the guitarist for the Carl Palmer band, he is renown for adapting a range of classical piano and violin pieces for the guitar using his astounding 8 finger tapping technique. Simon Fitzpatrick (also of the Carl Palmer band) will be accompanying Paul on Bass guitar. Simon's jaw dropping bass compositions will show you things that you never thought were possible on the instrument. He combines chord textures with cascading melodies and funky bass lines, all performed simultaneously!
Dave Bainbridge is the mastermind behind progressive Celtic band IONA. A world class piano player and guitarist, he combines ambient film-like textures with soaring guitar leads that are reminiscent of fusion guitar legend Allan Holdsworth crossed with the score of Braveheart!
Dave Brons music also has a cinematic feel. His music has been described as Star Wars crossed with Van Halen (virtuoso guitarist) and Einaudi (Piano composer). Dave's epic music combined beautiful piano playing and unusual time signatures and uplifting guitar melodies that will spark your imagination and transport you the the movie in your minds eye.
