Guitar on Mac seminars - Two free guitarist and Mac
seminars in the UK featuring Zutons guitarist Boyan Chowdhury have
been revealed.
It's a particularly attractive offer to Zutons fans: the band's
guitarist Boyan Chowdhury will take part in both seminars.
The events will also explain how useful Apple's music software
products - GarageBand, Logic Express or Logic Pro 7 - can be to
music creation. They also look at third-party plug-ins that help
guitarists reach that perfect sound.
Attendees will also be bought up to speed on recent developments in
guitar technology, including using MIDI guitars to control samples,
virtual instruments and synthesisers. The event will also explain
how guitarists can use their Macs to share, publish and promote
their music. The Birmingham event takes place at Professional Music
Technology (PMT), 136 Lawley Middleway, Birmingham, B4 7XX.
The London date will be held at Sound Control, 14-16 Oxford St,
London, W1D 1AR.

Kami's - Cambridge
Upcoming dates
Belinda Gillett - Fall away
A recommendation from John Meed, this Suffolk-based artist deserves
a serious listen. A great voice which is sumptuous in combination
with the cello played by Kaye. Belinda describes herself:
"I have been singing most of my life, in and out of bands untill I
went solo two years ago. I gig regularly in my home county of
suffolk, which I love. Now venturing into the depths of London and
elsewhere....... Had early success in the biz, doing live tele,
radio and making a record. It was great fun but not where I wanted
to be. I am passionate about my music and being myself."

Hachfest - careful how you pronounce it!
A local festival which looks good for a sunny day in the Suffolk
countryside on 22 July at Mutimer's Meadow, Hacheston near
Woodbridge. Profits go to St. Elizabeth's Hospice and the East
Anglian Air Ambulance.
Line-up includes: The Fat Band and The East Coast Blues Band with
excellent beer from the Earl Soham Brewery

Second Shift - Bethany
This track is "pop rock with gritty, distorted guitars that give it
a touch of punk flavor. Reminiscent of the Foo Fighters, but with
more of a party spirit. You can blast this one at the skate park or
the pool party you throw the next time your parents are out of
town." Breakthrough Radio
