hey les used to be a student of yours mate james baxter, just listened to some of your songs just blew me away really amazing mate hope you and the family are well!
Les, this piece is extraordinarily beautiful. Is that in DADGAD? Your McIroy guitar is perfectly suited to your sound. Never played one but would sure like to. Always thought when I was ready to buy my dream guitar it would be a F25 lowden but I'm not sure now. Thanks, Ray
Thanks for your comment, Ray. The McIlroys are pretty special guitars. What really impresses me about them is their versatility. From Blues to alternate tuned Celtic, they always sound great!
I know man! I lot's happened since then I can tell you! Funny you mention the Lowden, I got it by trading in the Yamaha I won and the martin I was playing at the competition. 2 for 1, bargain!! It's my main gigging guitar but I mostly use my Brook custom Tamar for recording. I sent you a myspace req, let's chat over there!
Hi Michael, Really good to hear from you. Can you believe that the finals were over eight years ago?! The guitar in the videos is a McIlroy and the Gretsch that I won was sold to buy an acoustic amp! Do you still have that fantastic sounding old Lowden? If you intend to do any gigs in the North East please let me know.

Hi Les, Michael Watts here, I was "Acoustic guitarist of the year" when you won "guitarist of the year"!
Lovely sound. What is the guitar?
Still got that Gretsch you won?
