Joey Landreth @ Guitar Breaks
18th - 22nd October 2021 - Italy
Excited doesn't really cover it!
We are absolutely bloody delighted  to announce that Joey Landreth will be joining us at Guitar Breaks in Italy in the Autumn. And once again we will be located at the Villa Pia hotel, in Lippiano. 

Having experienced great success as a session player, then with the Bros. Landreth and also as a solo artist, Joey is a monster player, singer and songwriter. 
A true exponent of emotive guitar playing with a tone to make grown guitarists weep, Joey will be bringing his knowledge, experience and tasty chops to rural Italy with Guitar Breaks.

**You need to be able to arrive on Sunday 17th October. Departure will be on Saturday 23rd October.
​
​Stunning food, a glass of wine and some autumnal weather are extremely likely (and included in the price), so If you want to be in with a chance of joining Joey at Guitar Breaks, click here now: Joey Landreth Workshop

Josh Smith @ Guitar Breaks

Postponed until late 2021 - Dates TBC

We cannot wait to get this one back on! Josh is an awe-inspiring musician with an intensity to match. We have been so lucky to have Josh join us as a guest during our season of live interviews, and as a headliner at our Festival Of Guitar. I think it's fair to say it was a killer performance!

Josh's workshop will be 4 days of intense guitar playing with one of the world's great players. A true student of the art, having first picked up the instrument at the age of 3,  Josh is fluent in many different types of guitar playing. 
​
Josh started touring and recording back in 1997 and has performed many times with the legendary BB King.  His latest album  'Burn To Grow' is available here:   Burn To Grow
