Strings Attached - The West Australian Guitar Festival

Back for it's highly anticipated third year, Strings Attached - The West Australian Guitar Festival is bringing together players, makers and enthusiasts of the stringed-persuasion for a weekend of guitar-fuelled entertainment in Margaret River. Lovers of live music can expect everything from Blues to Roots, World to Jazz, Metal and Rock, Country, Classical and more, featuring players from around the country showcasing the magic of strings, be it electric or acoustic, bass or mandolin, banjo or ukulele and beyond with over 60 artist performances, workshops, masterclasses, questions, answers and presentations across the weekend in a massive program. What sets this state-first event apart is the opportunity it provides to immerse visitors in the world of strings, with something for everyone - including a dedicated youth program. The main exhibition, set at the Festival Hub - the adequately named culture and entertainment venue Margaret River HEART (Hub of Entertainment, Arts and Regional Touring) – will host guitar makers from around the country, plus retailers, gear manufacturers and distributors. Tickets on sale in June.
