About Me |
|
| JONGOMM.COMI'm a guitarist/singer/songwriter from England.Hope you like the music - it's just me playing - all the noises are made with one acoustic guitar and my mouth. The audio and video on this page was recorded live at The Mixing Tin in Leeds in 2005 I play A LOT of gigs: in the past year I've done about 150. I am sometimes to busy (or too lazy) to put all my gig dates on this page, but you can always find them all on my website www.jongomm.com I have a CD out, called Hypertension. You can buy it by clicking the button below... Price: £9.99 (including postage and packing to anywhere in the world) - pay with credit card or debit card Here's some things people have written about me... "Sheer bloody genius sublime, impassioned songwriting" Sandman Magazine "We have seen the future of acoustic guitar playing, and it is called Jon Gomm" Blues Matters "One of the world's most successful, gifted and inspirational guitar players" Acoustic Magazine |
