Following the US leg of John Fairhurst’s tour, he’s heading over the border to Mexico for a month of gigging, recording and discovery. The highlight is a gig at Morelia International Guitar Festival. Morelia in the state of Michoacán has long been regarded as Mexico’s musical mecca. The city houses Latin America’s oldest functioning conservatoire, as well as several large music festivals, the most popular of which is its well established guitar festival.

Musicians, guitar enthusiasts and students travel from all over the world to attend four days of concerts and workshops, and to drool over an array of handmade instruments for which the region is renowned.

Following more dates in Mexico, John returns to the UK in May for a month long tour of his native stomping ground. The first UK dates will be announced imminently, so keep your eyes peeled!
