JON GOMM PRESENTS... with Michael Watts

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 is delighted to welcome his old friend MICHAEL WATTS to be his final guest in this special run of gigs. Ecuadorian-born Michael Watts is a fingerstyle guitarist now based in Brighton. He was Guitarist magazine's Acoustic Guitarist of The Year at the age of 22. Not only is Michael a master of touch and technique, and a composer of lustrous harmonies and dancing melodies, he is also an aficionado of the world's finest guitars. Ervin Somogyi - possibly the greatest living luthier - described Michael's playing as "A joyous revelation".

The concert will feature one set from Jon, one set from Michael, and finally something to make the show unique and one to remember - a bonus set of some live collaboration with Jon AND Michael 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.
