The Southbank at Tower Bridge, London, is currently playing host to ‘Guitartown’ a selection of ‘Gibson Guitars’. The Gibson Project is a collaboration of 30 well known artists and musicians, raising money for three chosen charities; The Princes Trust, Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy and Teenage Cancer Trust.

Music legends such as Paul Weller, Slash, Ronnie Wood, Robert Plant, Rod Stewart, Noel Gallagher, Mark Knopfler, Roxy Music, New Order, Bruce Dickinson, Brian May, Gary Moore, Gorillaz, Dirty Pretty Things, The Lost Prophets, James Dean Bradfield, Ocean Colour Scene, Graham Coxon, The Kooks, The Magic Numbers, Ozzy Osbourne, Paul Rodgers, Suggs, KT Tunstall, Razorlight, Hard-Fi, Corinne Bailey Rae, Depeche Mode, James Morrision, Motorhead, Sir Cliff Richard and James Blunt are lending their support.

Each guitar is constructed by a 10 foot piece of fibreglass and then designed and hand painted by some of the Uk’s leading artists. Sir Peter Blake and Mauricio Ortiz from Eyestorm have been taking part and lending their support. Each guitar will be signed by the artist and an auction for the guitars will be held in November.

’Guitartown’ London finishes at the beginning of September so make sure you get down there over the August bank holiday weekend to be sure not to miss it.
