Acoustic Magazine 108 Back Issue

We’ve had many great artists grace our London Acoustic Show over the years, but this year is set to be the best one yet. We’ve packed so much into the two-day event (September 12 and 13) at Olympia London, with masterclasses and main stage performances from some of the world’s greatest players. You’ll find interviews with everyone gracing the stages over the weekend in this issue. It’s an honour to host some legends of the music world, including the venerable Albert Lee, who you’ll see on this issue’s cover. Albert’s career has been one that dreams are made of – I mean, just imagine backing the Everly Brothers, right? Standing on that stage looking out past Don and Phil… Albert will be appearing on the main stage in association with LR Baggs and Ernie Ball to talk about his illustrious career and to play tracks from his new acoustic album Highwayman. He’ll be bringing his Huss & Dalton acoustic and a whole load of stories from the road of rock n’ roll, no doubt.
Doyle Dykes is a man who can coax sounds out of his instrument not heard anywhere else. You’ll remember Doyle from his column in these pages, but it’s a pleasure to have him fly to the UK especially for our show. He’s not often this side of the Atlantic, so make sure you check him out in the masterclass suite and on the main stage. We’ve reviewed guitars in this issue that you’ll be able to try out over the show weekend, too. Check out the stand number on the corresponding review to locate them on the show floor. The guitar I couldn’t put down this month was the Waterloo by Collings. Enjoy the issue and see you at the London Acoustic Show on September 12 and 13 at Olympia London.
