Guitarists! If you think you've seen everything - every so often a guitarist shows his hands and he's got something different to offer. Paul Openshaw is just such a man. he plays nearly everything in DADGAD. And when I say everything - i don't mean just songs in D and G. Paul has perfected a mindblowing method of playing in every key - using DADGAD. He's on of these guys who really has ripped up the rule book. Also, it has to be said, he is a songwriter of wit and originality. I'm doing a couple of songs each half - support act.
Hers the details:-
