A wall at Planet Hollywood, Times Square. It contains a couple of hundred Gibson Guitars, mostly the Les Paul.

This is a fitting memorial to the famous Les Paul, who died on August 13 2009. He created the Gibson Les Paul guitar, which was played by almost every rock band in the world.

He also invented multi-track recording, which of course revolutionised the music industry.

Here is a picture of Paul McCartney’s bass guitar – yes the original! It was on the wall at Planet Hollywood on Times Square, New York.

Hi all

A huge thank you to everybody that was at our charity gig last month. After deducting the costs, I am very excited to tell you that we managed to raise over R3500 for the trust, which is fantastic. Thanks to everybody that was there, and thanks especially to our wonderful team of helpers, especially Rory, Lynne, James, Malcolm and Neil.

We had loads of fun, and judging by the reaction, everybody else did as well. Neil recorded the whole gig on video, so once he has finished editing, we will let you know.

This is our first gig in a very long time, and it has inspired us to do some more playing, so watch this space!

Yes, that is right. After years of being quiet, Lois and I are doing a charity gig. Please keep the evening of Saturday 25 April open. Details to follow.

This is amazing. Gutarist Tony Melendez was born with no arms, but that didn't stop him from learning the guitar. Watch this….. See what you are capible of if you are told that you won't be able to do it.
