“ I sat down with Will McNicol at the annual UK RMMGA gathering in May 2018 at the beautiful Springhill Manor in the Cotswolds. We spoke about many things, including the Ullapool Guitar Festival and the International Guitar Foundation.
Many thanks to Will for sitting with me. His latest album, Butterflies, Dragonflies and Bumblebees is available to stream and buy on his website here: http://willmcnicol.co.uk. There’s an accompanying notation/tab book for the album too, very handy if you’re anything like me and can’t get this music out of your head. It’s utterly sublime – seriously. ”
