Live Review: Paul Gilbert and Richie Kotzen

Important announcement from Greg Howe regarding the London International Music Show

A post on Greg Howe's MySpace blog indicates his involvement in the London International Music Show was never officially confirmed, and he will very likely not be participating. The announcement that Howe would be performing at the show (along with Richie Kotzen and Guthrie Govan) was originally posted by Paul Cornford (of Cornford Amps) on the Guthrie Govan message board. Mark McGuigan then posted about it, after which I posted it here. Looks like we all jumped the gun on this one. Sorry for any confusion folks. Ah the internets...

UPDATED: Govan, Kotzen, and Howe to play the London International Music show

Saw this on Mark McGuigan's site: Guitarists Guthrie Govan, Richie Kotzen, and Greg Howe will be headlining the London International Music Show at London's Excel Centre on Saturday June the 14th. Each player will do a solo set (each with a full band), before uniting for a monster jam at the end. More details can be found here on the Guthrie Govan message board. The London International Music show is comprised of four separate shows: The London Guitar Show, Drummer Live, Sound Recording Technology, and The Unplugged Music show. The entire event runs from June 12th through the 15th.

UPDATE 4/2/08: Greg Howe has said his involvement in this show was never confirmed. Read more here.
