JOHN PAUL JONES To Appear At U.K.'s MANSONS GUITAR SHOW

October 6, 2010

Mansons Guitar Shop has announced the legendary bass player John Paul Jones (LED ZEPPELIN, THEM CROOKED VULTURES) will appear at this year's Mansons Guitar Show taking place Saturday, October 23 and Sunday, October 24 at Riverside Leisure Centre, Exeter Devon, United Kingdom.

The 2010 Mansons Guitar Show is set to be both the biggest and best show yet with a record number of exhibitors confirmed including virtually every great guitar company on the planet. Manufacturers will be bringing their best model examples to exhibit at the prestigious weekend with several U.K.-exclusive launches confirmed. A great mixture of the small independent guitar companies are rubbing shoulders with large corporates, and the presence of guitar legends such as John Paul Jones from LED ZEPPELIN means Mansons Guitar Show is undoubtedly the U.K.'s premier guitar lovers' event.

Mansons Guitar Show is set to be one of the most unique in terms of prize-winning opportunities and has grown even greater this year. For 2010 Ampeg are giving away a bass rig signed by its roster of bass artists that includes members of THE ROLLING STONES, PETER GABRIEL, BLACK SABBATH, KING'S X, ALICE IN CHAINS, THE SMASHING PUMPKINS, and many others. Marshall will be offering a signed amplifier by one of their legendary artists and Avid Distribution are giving away one of their Eleven Rack systems worth nearly £800. Acoustic players are equally well looked after with Faith and Freshman Guitars offering mouth-watering prizes. You can win these prizes through the charity raffle at the show, charity auction or through an exclusive Express And Echo giveaway.

Mansons clinic, demonstration and performance room will be running flat out throughout the weekend. Martin Barre (JETHRO TULL),Walter Trout (blues legend),Jerry Donahue (THE HELLECASTERS),Jan Akkerman (FOCUS),Alex Hutchings, Jas Morris ("Guitarist Of The Year" winner),Stuart Clayton (CARL PALMER BAND),Chris George (Marshall official demonstrator),and flying in exclusively for the Mansons Show, U.S. bass artist Michael Manring (Zon Guitars),will all be appearing at the show.
