Guitar anthems concert on its 10th Anniversary Tour, recreating the sounds of guitar legends like Clapton, Hendrix and Page with 35 authentic guitars.
The Story of Guitar Heroes comes to the Northcott Theatre on Saturday 7 November, as part of its 10th Anniversary Tour. It's a concert built around the guitar, and the set covers five decades of music, from 1950s Rock & Roll through to the most influential guitarists of the modern era.
The thing that sets this one apart is the gear. They use no fewer than 35 authentic guitars to recreate the specific sound of each legend, rather than relying on a few versatile instruments. The list of names they cover is long: Hank Marvin, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Brian May, Jimmy Page, Mark Knopfler, David Gilmour, Ritchie Blackmore, Tony Iommi, Van Halen and Slash. If you've got a favourite from that list, they'll be in there.
Time Out described it as 'every lick expertly played by highly experienced, gifted musicians', and it's picked up critical acclaim both in the UK and abroad. The whole thing runs for 140 minutes, including the interval, so it's a full evening rather than a quick stop. Just a heads-up that the performance uses smoke and haze.
