I couldn't agree more, and have been asking myself that same question for 30 years. It's about time somebody said it.

Unfortunately I...Wow, great report, what a line up!<br />Unfortunately I was busy with a couple of my own gigs in the Berkshire area in those days so I missed it all...<br />I totally agree with you about how Nile Rodgers is an underrated guitarist, especially in my native Italy where they ONLY judge a player by his solos, Nile is my main inspiration when I play funky patterns and last year I even made a masterclass about him as a project for my Masters' Degree at the ACM, right there in Guildford. What a chance I've missed on Sunday!!!<br />I saw Chic in 2005 in Perugia and Nile's playing was astounding, machine-gun picking and pinpoint precision.<br />WIZZI!!! I know her personally as I've played alongside her a few times at the Kings Head pub in Guildford, where she hosts an open mic night on Wednesdays but also features many times in another open mic held there on Sundays that I often go to...veeeeery talented singer...and she plays the mirror image of my acoustic guitar (I too have a sunburst Yamaha APX but a lefty) :-)Lorxsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05789068409099783302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-67628936211200362572012-07-17T18:08:37.182+01:002012-07-17T18:08:37.182+01:00Great photos!

Clocks in at about a minute 30 or something. Never had much use for his other solo stuff. Completely unaware of his session work except for rumors that he was on the Sex Pistols album.<br />Anyway that festival seemed like a fun, diverse line up. I also noted all the boring, boring non alt guitars.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04096207512822495000noreply@blogger.com
