JON GOMM PRESENTS... with John Wheatcroft

Event information

This is part of a special series of gigs hosted by Leeds' own acoustic guitar virtuoso Jon Gomm, where he brings one of his favourite artists he has met while touring the length and breadth of Britain to play in Leeds.

Jon first met this month's guest, JOHN WHEATCROFT, at the London Guitar Show at Wembley, where they developed an instant mutual respect for each other's equally virtuosic but very different mastery of the guitar. Liverpudlian John Wheatcroft is Guitar Techniques magazine's resident guru and Head Of Guitar at Guitar-X in London. Having toured the planet with Carl Palmer of ELP, his current focus is his own brand of acoustic jazz, which combines the timeless swing of Django Reinhardt with more modern styles, for a sound that is all his own.

The concert will feature one set from Jon G, one set from John W, and finally something to make the show unique and one to remember - a bonus set of some live collaboration with Jon AND John making some music together!

The Grove Inn is a little pub tucked away in the city centre, and is the spiritual home of acoustic music Leeds. It is small meaning the gig will be truly intimate and the atmosphere very special, but obviously it is very likely to sell out.
