2011 has been a great year for me and Sundance Guitars in relation to teaching and guitar sales.

Many thanks to my customers from the UK, Europe and around the world for your continued support. We trust your are delighted with the products supplied by us and we hope that we are able to help you again in 2012.

Particular thanks go to all of my students for working so hard and making my “job” such a delight. It’s an absolute pleasure to work with such a wide range of interesting people from all ages, backgrounds and walks of life, but all sharing the same passion for music and the guitar.  Sorry I haven’t been able to mention all of you below (with 50 + current students that would be difficult – but don’t worry, your turn will come soon!!) but here are some of the more memorable highlights of 2011…..follow the links for videos and other stuff…

Ste Shaw attaining a Merit at Grade 8 – his first exam after lessons for a mere two and a half years!!!
