Selmer Guitars
Ian uses original Selmer guitars 142, 507 and 861 in his performances and recordings. These are the same brand of guitar that Django Reinhardt played and have a great sound for gypsy jazz. Ian and Nigel also use superb Selmer copies made by luthier Piers Crocker from Sydney. Click on the photos for a larger view

We saw you perform for the first time at the Thredbo Jazz Festival last weekend and really enjoyed it. We bought a CD (as requested) and have been listening to it with great pleasure. Best wishes for the rest of your current tour. We look forward to attending one of your Sydney gigs in April.
Thanks Chris, We had a great time in Thredbo and I am glad you are enjoying the CD. Catch you in Sydney!
Ian
