Acoustic Guitar Show 2008 in Cheltenham

14 September – Cheltenham Town Hall is once again hosting the Acoustic Guitar Show, complete with an array of fine musical instruments and a series of live music performances.

Returning to Cheltenham Town Hall for a second year running, the Acoustic Guitar Show is set to once again delight lovers of acoustic music and fine craftsmanship.

Visitors will be able to experience the finest handmade British and American musical instruments at the show, with an impressive exhibitor list including both bespoke luthiers to major guitar manufacturers.

Enthusiasts can also see and hear the world’s best steel string, archtop, gypsy and classical instruments, including mandolins, and learn how a guitar is built as well as getting the rare chance to meet the makers and try out that dream guitar. Hourly demonstrations are also planned, while a series of masterclasses will cover topics from choosing a guitar to songwriting and slide guitar techniques.

Non-musicians are also sure to enjoy the two-day show thanks to performances by top guitarists on the live stage, while there will also be a café and bar.

From contemporary to classical, folk to flamenco, jazz, blues or ragtime, find it at this year’s Acoustic Guitar Show in Cheltenham.
