I am very happy that the great Hindustani slide guitarist, Manish Pingle, is coming to the UK to do this show with me. In February, I was in Mumbai to play at a festival there. I stayed on for a few days to see the city, and to meet Manish Pingle! Manish picked Sue and I up from our hotel and drove us to his home where we ate a beautiful meal and had a great time jamming blues and Indian music on two Mohan Veenas. As soon as we started playing and realising that we could play together, I was thinking….'we have got to do this again' ……I now know that Manish was thinking the same thing! I have been around many guitarists in my life and I am not easily impressed, but sitting with Manish and hearing him play was an absolute joy. He is a unique and very talented musician with his own style and sound. As well as playing Hindustani classical music on the Mohan Veena, Manish can also rock out Indian-style on electric lap steel guitar, and it's very cool indeed! Back in London a few weeks later, I talked to my friends 'The North American Guitar', who as well as dealing in beautiful guitars, have put on events at Abbey Road and the Riverside Studios, and they agreed that Manish needs to come to London and that he and I should do a project together. I am very grateful for their involvement in this project. It could not have happened without them. -------------------------------------------------------------------- WORKSHOPMichael Messer & Manish Pingle are holding a Masterclass / Workshop at The London Acoustic Guitar Show on Sunday 8th September at 2:30(Manish Pingle playing at a school concert) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Shine On Michael

That sounds awesome and brilliant- I hope there will be an album in the future of the collaboration for us across the pond.
