Listen "Chatting with Gordon Giltrap"
Episode Synopsis
Over the past forty years, Gordon Giltrap MBE has graced the music business with his dedication to his craft and his affection for his audience. As one of the UK's most respected guitarists, he has consistently proved the adage that respect cannot be bought, it must be earned. Now with yet another new album coming out, this 73-year-old shows no sign of slowing down his creative juices...
Over the years, Giltrap has worked with an amazingly broad range of artists, from rock musicians such as Brian May, Rick Wakeman and Midge Ure to the jazz virtuoso Martin Taylor, classical guitarist Raymond Burley and the London Symphony Orchestra. In 1996, Gordon realised a dream of playing guitar alongside Cliff Richard, on stage in Cliff's West End musical Heathcliff.
In this podcast, we talk with Gordon about what in his wife's words is "maintaining the standard". Through his early life, family tragedy and health scares that made him revalue his career, now Gordon is back with his latest musical masterpiece.
