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! Watch this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/LcDqXPW9lh0 Full Show Notes...

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...

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!

Rob's a regular over on Arran. I first met him in 2017 when I supported him in the PHT in Lamlash and we've been corresponding ever since. He came over to play last weekend (16 Nov 2019) and we hung out on the Sunday morning and captured a recording as we walked my dogs. We spoke about his career and got into fear and anxiety and following your heart.
