Devastating news about the loss of much loved, influential guitar legend Jeff Beck. He made the electric guitar sing… a powerful influence on myself and many others.

So sorry for the scare. I’ve had a bronchial infection and a last minute adverse reaction to medication. The Medics took me to hospital. I’m now recovering. I was very sad to miss the show and I will return to Phoenix ASAP. My thanks for everyone’s understanding and support.
