Top Ten Guitar Heroes

Posted on Monday 19 May

We ran a "Top Ten Guitar Heroes" poll on Saturday night and the results were rather intereesting. Thanks to everyone who phoned, texted or emailed in with their choices. I was very pleased to see that some names like Neil Young and Rory Gallagher made the list but not surprised that Jimi Hendrix manages to retain his "Guitar Hero Crown almost forty years after his death.



Look out for next weeks poll on the programme which will be pick your "Dream Three Band Bill" for a concert. It can be any band or artist you like whether the band still exists or even if the artist is dead. We will run the results on Saturday night at about 10:30pm so get your thinking caps on and let me know your

Good to see a mention for Micky Jones. It's tragic that such a talented guy has been struck down by ill health. I'm looking forward to seeing the MJ signature guitar by Gary Lewis.
