James Edwards: Fernando Miyata is truly a monster player. stunning ability and a really down to earth bloke again. language barrier was tricky, but music is a universal language, and he is one seriously impressive man.
George Bellas in full flow, improvisation and economy picking. Look out for his video lesson series: http://www.georgebel las.com/MainSite/Pag es/Lessons.html and upcoming CD's
James Edwards: Mark Playle is also truly inspirational. a cracking live sound and lovely playing made for a really good performance. he made a lot of contacts and will be busy after this show, so hats off to you mark.
James Edwards: Daniele Gottardo spoke little English, but nonetheless had a great time. a really brilliant man who possesses unbelievable ability. On any other day, he would have walked this, and has an amazing future ahead of him
James Edwards: Lyle Watt performed a storming set, have no doubts. his natural ability is pretty awesome to say the least, and is a great kid to boot!!!
James Edwards: Gustavo Di Padua is one of the most down to earth best guys you will ever meet, and I really hope he comes back next year to win the whole thing! he gave his album to me and it is wonderful, possibly one of the best instrumental albums I have heard in a long time.
