Joe Satriani
When rock guitarists gather, one of the names that elicits the most respect is that of Joe Satriani. The guitar virtuoso and teacher has, for many years, been at the pinnacle of rock instrumentalists and inspired many a tyro strummer to higher things. Picked by Mick Jagger to play on his solo tour in 1988, Satriani soon made a name for himself with his impressive technique. He had a spell in Deep Purple and also in Alice Cooper's band, alongside of his guitar teaching duties. Some of his students have gone on to stellar careers, most notably Steve Vai. He originated the G3 tour where a varied trio of guitarists, with Satriani at the heart, toured playing instrumental music. He has continued to record solo albums of original material, often with a science fiction theme. In 2008 he formed what has been termed a supergroup with Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony and Chad Smith called Chickenfoot. The band's material is more conventional hard rock, giving Satriani the opportunity to relax into a more restrained style of playing. However, on his solo tours he is able to let rip and showcase the dazzling technique that has brought him numerous Grammy nominations and the admiration of his thousands of fans.

The Mavericks are back and for lead singer Raul Malo, The Mavericks' reunion is a testament to faith, fate and chance.
For drummer Paul Deakin, it's rekindled a way of being in tune that they don't have with anyone else.
Bassist Robert Reynolds encapsulates the mood of their new album 'In Time' as 'big love, big loss, big joy - and party!'
Cited influences on the album range from Dean Martin to ZZ Top, George Jones to Ravel. These enrich The Mavericks' famously no-borders fusion of country, garage, Latin, soul and torch-song sounds with fresh passion and maturity.

The Moody Blues
Graeme Edge, John Lodge and Justin Hayward embark on an extensive nationwide tour, offering their ever-faithful fans to hear the substantial classical-pop-rock music that has gained the group a legendary place in music. Since being at the forefront of the British Invasion during the 1960s, with a style based in R&B, and with a different line-up, through to the re-invention of the group, coupled with the one of the first albums that promoted the classical-rock sound, Days Of Future Passed, the Blues have been touring around the world, save a five-year sojourn in the 1970s and solo projects taking precedence, offering their audiences with grand-scale sonic wonders, with classics performed such as Gemini Dreams, Driftwood and of course, Nights In White Satin. Although The Moody Blues have a succession of different line-ups, or should that be despite of, and with the decision to reduce the amount of touring reached in 2000, this group held a unique place in British rock history, and a chance to see them perform live should not be lost.
