St Ives Jazz Club plays host to |guitar hero Ant Law on Tuesday, February 11, providing a perfect antedote to the current gloom, Ant was a scholar at both Edinburgh University and Berklee College of Music until moving to London in 2008. Upon arrival he picked up work with artists such as Mica Paris, Leon Ware, Koby Israelite, Camille O’Sullivan, Britain’s Got Talent star Tony Laf, |X-factor winner Steve Brookstein and Eileen Hunter, and members of Incognito and Level 42.
He was honoured to be featured in the July 2011 issue of Europe’s biggest selling “Total Guitar” |magazine. Additionally he is a |pioneer of a new “Perfect Fourths” tuning system for guitarists.
He makes regular trips to New York to study with his heroes Ben Monder, Lage Lund, Adam Rogers, Gilad Hekselman, Tim Miller and significantly Ari Hoenig.
These influences are audible in the music. Working with the heaviest young cats in the UK, a core lineup and repertory eventually settled, becoming the Entanglement album.
You can see Ant and the band as they hit St Ives before a number of other UK dates, then heading into the studio to record the second album.
