| To Book International Guitar Night contact: HERSCHEL FREEMAN: Hfreeman@herschelfreemanagency.com www.herschelfreemanagency.com UK Booking: John Barrow, Stonyport Associates jb@stoneyport.demon.co.uk THE INTERNATIONAL GUITAR NIGHT (IGN) brings together the world’s foremost acoustic guitarists to perform their latest original compositions and exchange musical ideas in a public concert setting. Each tour, IGN founder Brian Gore invites a new cast of guitar luminaries to join him for special evenings of solos, duets and quartets that highlight the virtuosity and diversity within the world of acoustic guitar. TOURS For the November/December 2007 Canadian tour, the January/February 2008 U.S. tour, and the fall 2008 UK tour, Brian welcomes D’Gary, renowned World Music guitarist from Madagascar; Clive Carroll, England’s finest young fingerstyle guitarist , and Nuevo Flamenco emigré Miguel de la Bastide from Canada via Trinidad and Spain.About the International Guitar Night International Guitar Night is North America’s premier mobile guitar festival. Sponsored by Acoustic Guitar Magazine, it is the only production of its kind to have grassroots origins. Ever since its beginning in 1995 in a converted laundromat in the California Bay Area, IGN has featured the best performing guitar composers from around the world. Since the beginning, audiences have cherished the friendly informal ambiance of the performances. Participants have relished the chance IGN affords to express reverence for one another, and to collaborate rather than compete. The unique brand of “guitar positivity” the forum provides has helped make IGN the most successful guitar showcase of its kind. “With the International Guitar Night, Brian Gore has created a new niche for the myriad of styles that can be played by the unaccompanied acoustic guitar, as well as marvelous opportunity for virtuosos to interact and learn from one another onstage.” Michael Parrish, Dirty Linen (100th Anniversary Edition) "The International Guitar Night show on Saturday 13 October 2007 was fantastic. Full of dynamics, great enthusiasm by artists and audience a like. The audience took a gamble but left after a standing ovation feeling 100% contented. It was a great night." --Nicola Bowden Artistic Director Mick Jagger Centre, Dartford, England. "A magical evening." Nikki Nelson Cowichan Theater, Duncan BC "The audience loved this show." Bruce Labadie Villa Montalvo, Saratoga, California |
