BCFRM is proud and extremely excited to bring Jon Gomm to Berkhamsted:
"Jon, you are a genius, man; I LOVE your music and playing!" - Steve Lukather (Toto) / “Hands down the most amazing guitarist I have ever seen!” - Tommy Lee (Motley Crue)
In 2020 Jon was voted "Best Acoustic Guitarist In The World" in the largest online poll of its type, conducted by MusicRadar / Guitar World. Jon Gomm is known for his once-seen-never-forgotten virtuoso guitar style. This involves slapping, tapping and retuning as he plays, producing a huge, multi-layered sound filled with bass, drums and near-orchestral depth and complexity from a single guitar.
“Wonderful playing and singing. The whole package.” - David Crosby / “I love your work and style so much. You are very special.” – Jon Anderson (Yes)
His songs are often deeply emotive, whether with or without his soft, affecting voice and his live performances are intimate and powerful, but always punctuated by his natural North Of England wit and self-deprecation.
“One of the best in his field. Very inspiring!” - Joe Satriani / "Wonderful guitar playing. An all-round genius" - Stephen Fry
