By the time this issue of Guitarist hits the shops, Britain will be emerging cautiously from lockdown with the hope, still fragile, that the worst of Covid-19 is behind us. The pandemic has caused untold heartbreak to those who have lost loved ones or their own health to the virus. And it has also blighted livelihoods, not least among musicians who depended on gigs for their income. Now, as the prospect of live music returns, Guitarist is proud to support the return of music as it should be played, live and in the moment, in front of a real audience.
