PENDLE’S third annual Guitar Festival is to take place next month.

The one-day event is at The ACE Centre, Nelson, on Sunday, June 2.

Live music, free guitar workshops, lessons and recording sessions, guitar valuations and a chance to buy, sell and trade new, used and vintage guitars will all be on offer.

Andrea Quarin, ACE Centre studio engineer, said: “The last two events were a tremendous success with people coming from all over and now it’s a firm favourite with musicians.

“There will be lots happening, including live acoustic, country, rock and blues guitar performances and workshops by Stuart Ryan, Gwyn Ashton and Adam Palma.”

Pendle Guitar Festival, sponsored by Forsyth Music Shop in Deansgate, Manchester, and the Swap Shop in Leeds Road, Nelson, takes place from 10am to 4pm. Tickets cost £4 in advance and £5 on the door.
