Internationally acclaimed guitarist/composer Gordon Quinton was born in Windsor, Newfoundland and now lives in St. John's. A self-taught musician, he specializes in original compositions as well as in traditional and folk music. Gordon has composed and performed music for local and national films and his recordings have been used in traditional music classes at the University of Waterloo in Ontario. He has received excellent reviews in national and international publications.

Gordon has appeared on many CBC television and radio programs including the CBC national series' Disc Drive, Gilmour's Albums, Morningside, Gabereau, The Max Ferguson Show and D'une plage a l'autre (Radio Canada), and internationally on American Public Radio and the BBC.

Gordon was a member of the popular group Ward Six, which released an album in the early 1970s.

WOW! Superb! Does his company have an online site to order from, John? Your own CD? Do you have others we've not heard about?

This sounds fantastic! Thanks for the heads up!
