UK: NORTH WALES JAZZ GUITAR WEEKEND.
|
14th North Wales International Jazz Guitar
Weekend.
?
OCTOBER 22 - 24 2010.
Time is fast running out to enrol for our 22 to 24 October
Jazz Guitar Weekend, but we still have places left and ask you, if you
possibly can, to give us your support and help secure the future of our
weekends.
The events which the North Wales Jazz Society has
promoted during the past ten years are now an important part of jazz
guitar history and continue to provide the very best in jazz guitar
tuition.
The jazz guitar summer schools and festivals which ran for
eight years no longer take place due to lack of interest. We feel sure you
will agree that it would be a great shame if this happened to our jazz
guitar weekends, so don't delay, book today!

From Philippe Gendreau
Always looking
forward to the next Wrexham jazz guitar week-end. The atmosphere, the
people, the workshops have been always great. Thanks a lot to organize
such a brilliant event.

From Ahmed
Siddiqui I?have been attending the North Wales International
Jazz Guitar weekend events for a number of years and it now has a regular
place on my calendar. Good tuition for jazz guitar is very scarce which is
what makes the weekend events so useful. The standard of instruction is
excellent and the separate classes for beginners and more advanced players
allow everyone to get something out of the course. The resident instructor
and co-organiser Trefor Owen is a brilliant player and teacher, and his
passion for playing guitar as a lead jazz instrument is always inspiring.
Without fail I come away from the weekend wanting to practice for hours!
Seeing the guest jazz
guitarists at each event is also a highlight. In Jazz each player tends to
approach how they form melody and improvisations in a different way, so
there is always something new to learn.
The events are always
efficiently organised and everyone is made to feel welcome. Both Trefor
and Maureen put in a huge amount of effort and time to make the weekend a
fantastic event which I will be attending for as long as I
can.
Regards,
Ahmed

From Dave Carter
I discovered
the Jazz Guitar weekends about five years ago immediately after being
disappointed with a very expensive similar course in London (Jamey
Aebersold Summer School - Richmond). Since then I have never missed one of
the North Wales Jazz Society Jazz Weekends and, while they were still
being organised, I attended the full week Jazz Guitar Summer Schools (3 in
total). I now play in several bands and my level of ability has gone from
jazz novice to advanced/intermediate, but I still get a lot out of the
weekends, both socially, and technically, and have no intention of
stopping attending. There really isn't anything else with comparable
quality to these events anywhere else in the North West/Wales and perhaps
not even in the UK, as is reflected by the distances people travel to
attend. The events have a great balance of major attractions for me
including
1) the opportunity to meet and play guitar with internationally
renowned jazz guitarists
2) high quality
teaching in great facilities with free parking
3) friendly and encouraging organisers and musicians who
organise a superb Jam session during both lunchtimes in the college bar (a
perfect location)
4)
being surrounded by other peripheral Jazz Guitar related paraphenalia such
as technical advisors , guitar luthiers and guitars to try out in a very
relaxed atmosphere.
5)
It's also great to be able to meet so many other Jazz guitarist students
of all abilities and share aspects of the learning process with
them.
