editor Guitarist Presents Acoustic
Oh me, oh my, what a night. For those old enough to remember Woodstock the first time around, this event was just as good! The acoustic gig to beat all acoustic gigs.
It was created to bring an end to celebrating Roger’s MBE and to echo his achievements in guitar building (don’t call him a master luthier), Moira, Roger’s long suffering (and loving) wife organised a surprise do. She invited, secretly, a selection of Fylde artists, and the response was astonishing.
Almost eight months in the making and a more closely guarded secret than the government’s Brexit plans, (actually almost any government plan) it all went off without a hitch. Roger was caught, hook, line and sinker and it was obvious from his reactions that he had no idea what was happening when he arrived at the Roundthorn Country House hotel where a whole host of family, friends and artists waited to give him a night of celebration.
I took took photographs and created a book to celebrate the event.
