Tony McManus takes a break from globetrotting to host his fifth annual Elora guitar seminar during the weekend of Nov. 4 to 6.
This year, 12 students from across Canada, the U.S. and Europe congregate at the Drew House for an intense weekend of lessons and jamming with Tony and guest instructor Don Ross.
The highlight of the weekend is the Saturday evening public concert at the Elora United Church.
In addition to solo and duet performances from McManus and Ross, this year’s concert will include a presentation by Jowi Taylor – award winning writer and broadcaster with CBC and custodian of the Six String Nation guitar.
That instrument made its debut on July 1 2006 and was built using wood from every province and territory of the country – all of it of historic significance from Pierre Trudeau’s canoe paddle to Wayne Gretzky’s hockey stick.
Previous concerts have been packed to the rafters so get tickets in advance from Santé Natural Grocery on Metcalfe Street or call 519-846-9977.
