Ok, most people on here know I like metal, goth and other alternative music, but my musical heroes have nothing to do with these genres of music.

My first hero is Andres Segovia. He is a classical guitarist. I saw him when I was 11 when he came to Leeds, Uk to do a concert. I was in awe of him. A 90 year old man who was helped onto the stage by 2 people and helped off. But his playing was unreal. How can someone play so well?


Another hero of mine is my uncle Hughie Jones. He used to be in a UK folk group called the Spinners and they toured the country for years. He is an excellent guitarist and song writer and he inspired me to learn a number of instruments when I was younger. I have included a YouTube clip of a song that he is performing and that he wrote as well to comemorate the Ship Ellan Vannin.
