One of the UK’s finest guitarist and innovators has put together a short selection of his tunes, alone and with others.
A British guitarist Ant lives in London and leads his own group, dubbed “An exciting band to hear live” by John Fordham. Ant was born in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where he lived until the age of 16. From a young age he was exposed to early blues and rock ‘n’ roll, as well as Arabic music. He began playing piano and guitar around the age of 8. Throughout his teens he gravitated towards the guitar. A history teacher gave him a video of Stevie Ray Vaughan playing live at the El Mocambo, which was a huge influence, along with videos of Guns ‘n’ Roses, Queen, and later on Joe Satriani and Steve Vai.
