Acoustic Magazine 72 Retour à l'édition précédente

In November’s issue we have an exclusive interview with one of the UK’s most successful folk artists of recent times ahead his sold out UK tour this month. It is, of course, Ben Howard. He has had the biggest and best year of his life in 2012 – a platinum-selling debut album that’s still in the top 40 after 52 weeks, nominated for the Mercury Prize, sold out UK, European and US tours, US network television appearances – all while he’s in his early twenties. He’s the success story of 2012 and what better way to bring the year to a close, than with an interview with Ben. There’s the chance to win a Martin signed by him, too. Elsewhere we’ve got Suzanne Vega, Ingrid Michaelson and Nina Nesbitt fighting in the female corner of our interviews, while Antonio Forcione and Ben Montague battle it out in the other. The Martin D-28 is the most imitated acoustic guitar design, ever – we put the real thing to the test and what we found was a stunning instrument that inspires you beyond belief! Also in the issue, learn Lead Belly with Paul Brett, take a look at the new petite Guild GAD design and play along with your heroes in Acoustic Techniques.
