NZ's very 1st international guitar festival comes to Taranaki in July 08...
G-TARanaki.

G-TARanaki is definitely the place to be in July to be able to see the world's biggest and best gat players in one place.

Joe Satriani, Glenn Hughes, Gilby Clarke, Uli Jon Roth, Alex Skolnick and local wonder, Kara Gordon.

There are workshops held through out the week and Uli Jon Roth's Sky Academy will be travelling to school throughout Taranaki taking workshops.

2 massive nights of performances and our own Guitar Hero Champs will cover the Friday and Saturday nights in New Plymouth whereby every single guitarist headliner will perform live.

And I have also had word that we are expecting yet another international name announcement. Will definitely let you know!

The official website for G-TARanaki is:
www.gtaranaki.co.nz

We also have a Bebo Page:

And a MySpace:

We are also going to be holding the official NZ Nationawide Guitar Hero Champs at G-TARanaki.

The best bet is to get practising on the game and you can get the details from TheRock FM, MoreFM and from the official website and pages for G-TARanaki (Bebo, MySpace etc...) on how to enter.
