2012 Stuff!
Very sorry that it has been so very long since any 'new news' has appeared on here! 2012 has been a particularly hectic year which has seen a lot of gigging, sessions, writing, book editing and so on. But as well as this there has also been a lot of building work taking place at WM Studios - and a lot of video and trade show demos going on too. Hopefully, some of this work will surface very soon! As always, thanks so much for the great support:-) Wishing you all the best for 2013....

Bert Weedon - RIP
Just over 2 weeks after the death of one of his best friends Jim Marshall - Bert Weedon has sadly passed away too. I had the privilege of knowing Bert as a friend for many years and we often crossed paths at various gigs, trade shows & other events. The last one I can remember was when he came along with his lovely wife Maggie and Jim Marshall to see me play at 'We Will Rock you' in London - a show which Bert loved. Anyone who ever met him will tell you that he was a real gentleman - always charming, always interested in others - and totally unaffected by his fame. He was also a huge inspiration and source of instruction for thousands upon thousands of guitarists. Our sincere condolences go out to Maggie and his family.

Jim Marshall - RIP
RIP Jim Marshall - 'The Father Of Loud' and a good friend for many, many years. I have very fond memories of the many demos and shows I played for Jim - most of which were with Nicko McBrain, Jaz Lochrie & Geoff Whitehorn- and even better memories of all the great socialising that went on afterwards too:-) His contribution to the music industry is as immeasurable as it is far-reaching. He will be greatly missed.
