The third annual Guitarfest is set for this August, bringing together top calibre international performers and a wealth of local talent.
Organised by JonnoPromotions, with support from the Isle of Man Arts Council, the 'Fest' will take place from Friday 27th - Sunday 29th August at a number of venues around Douglas.
The opening night will see Dan Arborise's first Isle of Man performance, backed by award-winning folk duo Wingin' It.
On Saturday night, blues rockers The Hamsters will kick off their Jimi Hendrix 40th anniversary tour.
Bringing the Fest to a grand finale will be Modern Guitar Trio, a virtuoso group of Spanish style guitarists/composers comprising Roland Chadwick, Roland Gallery and Vincent Lindsay Clark. They will be supported by Liam Carter-Hawkins.
During the daytimes, there will be ample chance for local artists and bands to play on the Peter Norris stage in the Villa Marina Arcade, while a series of workshops will take place at the Peter Norris Music store.
