UK’s biggest guitar event returns to Birmingham next month
The Guitar Show returns to Birmingham’s Cranmore Park on 1-2 March, with the country’s largest guitar event set to feature a dedicated Bass Show for the first time.
Alongside gear from industry-leading brands, some of the UK’s finest bass-playing talent including Yolanda Charles (Robbie Williams, Paul Weller, Squeeze) and solo bass pioneer Steve Lawson will grace the show’s Lark Music Live Stage over the weekend. The varied line-up also includes appearances from Mick and Dan from That Pedal Show, legendary metal producer Mike Exeter, acoustic performances from Dos Guitarras and Dead Man’s Uke.
The expansion of the show means a bigger exhibition area than ever with big names including Marshall, Yamaha, Peavey, BOSS, Takamine, Faith, Ashdown, Sandberg, Orange, Rotosound, ESP, Sadowsky, Line 6, Neural DSP, Blackstar and Aguilar joining luthier and effects innovators like Patrick James Eggle, Alister Atkin, Darkglass, Balaguer, Rob Williams, Wampler, Friedman, Old Blood Endeavours and many, many more.
As ever, the show will provide a chance to grab incredible deals thanks to official retail partners Absolute Music and Fair Deal Music.
