Now in its third year, we at Reverb are proud to announce our sponsorship of the London International Guitar Show, coming up later this month on Sunday, October 28. Held in Kempton Park Racecourse Exhibition Centre, the one-day show will be packed with exhibits, workshops, and live music.
Forged in the style of USA table-top exhibitions, LIGS is home to over 180 exhibitors. New, vintage and pre-owned guitars, amps and pedals will be available to buy, trade and sell from a host of retailers, distributors, manufacturers, luthiers, boutique makers, and private collectors—not to mention a whole gamut of strings and accessories.
Workshops, demonstrations and live music will be available in separate areas throughout the day, with some of the top names in the industry performing in an intimate setting. This year sees German guitar supremo and Vintage Signature guitar endorser Thomas Blug demonstrating his incredible range of BluGuitar amps, speakers, and accessories.
Former Stone Roses and Asia guitarist Aziz Ibrahim Esq. will be performing an eclectic set of multi-genre mastery. Lazy J Custom Amps will present The Phil Harris Band playing a set of classic rock tracks using some of the most revered and sought-after examples of vintage electric guitars.
The LIGS caters to both local and long-distance visitors with free parking, good transport links (including proximity to the motorway), and even a railway station on the venue grounds. Entry is £10, and more information on the show can be found on the event website.
