Meeting Tommy... ....

Me, Tommy and Kim

I first got wind of it on the www.tommyemmanuel.com website.
My hero was coming to town! I was like an excited school-girl meeting F4 for the first time...
I rushed down to Maestro Guitars to get the tickets for the show as soon as I knew of it. Maestro guitars, by the way, are really doing a good job at marketing. They were quick to grab Tommy when he came, and impressionable o me went to get a Maestro guitar shortly. (which I sold rather quickly)
Then I knew of this Masterclass that was to be held at Victoria Concert Hall, the venue of the concert, a few hours before the start of the concert. Only 20 bucks. What the hell, I attended it, saw many local musicians there as well. The guy was amazing. Got a photo, and a signature on my 大老婆。

Tommy rocked Victoria Concert Hall and was "promoted" to Esplanade the year after that. I enjoyed myself on both occasions.

The strange thing is, unlike other solo guitarists, you don't have to be a guitar player to enjoy his shows. He is a superb entertainer as well.

If he comes this year - YOU should go catch him.
