Paul Rose - Geordie Guitarist

The Portico of Ards, Steel Dickson Avenue, Portaferry, County Down, BT18 0NU
Paul Rose

About

Paul Rose, born in Newcastle, England in July 1966, is without doubt one of the most unique and talented guitarists in the world today. Fundamentally a rock guitarist, his extraordinary playing style touches on blues, country, jazz and folk, blended together into a style that is entirely his own. Never a gig goes by where audience members don't comment that Paul is the best guitarist they've seen and heard.

Rory Gallagher awarded Paul a Fender '62 Reissue Strat, with a Vox AC30, in a Fender sponsored competition that invited guitarists from all over the UK to appear in local music shops. Entrants were required to play in front of a video camera using the guitar and amp in question, without any pedals, to be edited and shown to Rory at a later date. Out of 1000 guitarists, Rory selected Paul as the winner and described him as 'a hot player with a hot future.' Having also won 'Guitarist of the Year' in Guitarist Magazine a couple of years later, it is plainly obvious that Paul is a force to be reckoned with.

This event was submitted and organised by The Portico of Ards.
