Fresh from conducting workshops at WOMAD Singapore 2007 (read the write-up on Gibson.com), Randolf will talk about guitars, pickups, pedals, amps, setup, maintenance and give a solo guitar looping performance - a preview to his gig at the upcoming Y2K7 International Loopfest USA (he's only one of two Asian artists invited to perform at this Festival).
Also featuring solo performances by bassist Wendy Phua (embryo) and Mary Ho, who at the age of 71 is probably the coolest grandma in Singapore because she loves electric lead guitar, practises, plays and is currently recording her debut album of some of her all time favourite guitar instrumentals.
