Craig Ogden's Guitar Weekend

Bridgewater Hall Manchester.

The Craig Ogden Guitar Weekend is held every two years in the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester. The weekend is a mix of workshops, lessons and concerts. This year Accusound had the opportunity to take an exhibition table for the Saturday and Sunday. It was a very busy weekend with a great many more enquiries than were expected.

Craig used an Accusound microphone and amplifier for his performances on the Saturday evening with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. It was good to hear all the positive comments both during the interval and after the concert.

As well as opening each show with a small set of our own we then have the privilege of performing alongside Midge recreating songs from the ‘Breathe’ album & some of his classic hits. Tickets for the spring shows are now on sale and this from www.midgeure.com explains it perfectly:

Equipment demonstration evening with Craig Ogden and his RNCM students.

Craig Ogden is the guitar tutor at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester. Accusound were asked to demonstrate their microphones and amplifier suitable for classical guitars, in an evening of demonstration and evaluation. Accusound provided their traditional sound hole microphone in both omni and directional versions, along with their new Performer Range guitar microphone. Two of the now popular Accusound acoustic amplifier, AMA-1, were also provided so a number of students could play at a time.

The evening passed all to quickly with A-B tests between all the microphones. Although the absolute winner varied from student to student, all agreed that the microphones and amplifier combination provided them with a very authentic reproduction of the guitars being played.
