		Gordon first met Roger Bucknall in 1971, and immediately fell in love with the guitars he was making.
		Gordon has used Fylde guitars in much of his work since tha first meeting, and the wealth of experience that he and Roger have between them has brought about the development of the Gordon Giltrap Signature Guitar.
		Gordon feels its one of the best guitars he has ever played, saying "Its been 30 years since I was first involved with Fylde and its great to be back".

	Double Vision
		Gordon Giltrap represents a unique British musical talent, having evolved a guitar style which is as individual as his music is recognisable.
		In 1979 Gordon was commissioned by London's Capital Radio to compose an orchestral piece to commemorate 'Operation Drake' which resulted in the premier performance of the "Eye of the Wind Rhapsody" with the London Philharmonic Orchestra at the Guildhall in 1980, conducted by Vernon Handley.
		Gordon was cast in the roll of the Troubadour, a sort of musical narrator, he also wrote two pieces for the show, The Picnic, and Isabella's Wedding which later appeared on his highly acclaimed album Troubadour.

	Studio SOS
		When Gordon told me he was suffering radio interference on his acoustic guitar pickup systems, and that he lived less than half a mile away from one of the most powerful radio and TV transmission masts in the UK, I thought we were going to have our hands full.
		Gordon subsequently ordered some adhesive foil and modified one of the pickups himself and found that the screening worked OK, but that if he grounded it to the battery compartment the battery became permanently live and so the battery drained very quickly.
		Gordon was also interested in getting hold of a simple, relatively inexpensive mic preamp/front end and eventually settled on an SPL Gold Mic, which he had installed by the time of our second visit — he says he is extremely pleased with it.

		However, Giltrap certainly has to be seen as one of the major acoustic guitar virtuosos coming from England in the last thirty years!
		Not only did Giltrap have great admiration for Jansch, at one particular point in his career he found himself stablemate to Jansch when he also signed for the Transatlantic label.
		Maybe Gordon should have contacted Bert Jansch himself to ask whether at all he would be interested in collaborating on a couple of newly written duets.

		'Gordon Giltrap' and 'Portrait' were his debut and second album back in 1968 and '69.
		Giltrap's eccentric, whimsical lyric style saw him an obvious contender for bedsit hero status and, aligned with his ambidextrous performance, makes this twenty-four track collection an oddly attractive re-release.

		Another artist I was reminded of is Bruce Springsteen particularly his 'Ghost of Tom Joad' album in the intimacy of the work.
		My favourite moments from this were mostly taken from the musical 'Heathcliff' with some nice string arrangements and a 'wall of voices' from Cliff Richard on 'A Misunderstood Man'.
		There is one track common to both albums 'The Picnic' (again written for 'Heathcliff') the latter version improved by 'digital delay' and the flute playing of Gordon's guest.

	DPRP CD Reviews - 2000 - Volume Six
		Gordon Giltrap was known as a singer-songwriter before he went and recorded three albums for Electric Records between 1975 and 1978.
		The band is the same on all these three albums: Gordon Giltrap on all sorts of guitars, Rod Edwards on keyboards, John G. Perry on bass, and the Simon Phillips on drums, but I believe Phillips was replaced by Ian Moseley after the Fear Of The Dark album.
		The albums are largely acoustic, but as a composer, Giltrap succeeded in creating diverse albums, with songs from sweet tunes to melancholic songs, and from delicate pieces to fully orchestrated walls of sound.

	reviews of singer-sonwriters with acid folk reference
		Giltrap's ideas are already not so very clear, and his approach has its certain softness.
		However this new album is worth mentioning because it might still appeal to the lovers of the "troubadour" album.
		It's relaxing music mostly, which not only for Gordon himself but also for unfamiliar listeners this might be music that opens up memories (-his booklet is full of pictures of friends, remarks about occasions-) without recalling them with specific descriptions or transcriptions.

		Their links with Gordon Giltrap go back to that time - when he was one of their main champions and advocates.
		However my first Gordon Smith was one of their models which departs from that formula - and it's something of a one-off, the "Gordon Smith G90 Genesis".
		The Genesis was specially build for a guitar raffle in support of Flora and Fauna International (a environmental charity supporting sustainable use of Earth resources) in 1995 demonstrating some of the new techniques and features which the company had developed.

		Giltrap's fourth album is essentially a showcase for his flamboyant guitar picking but it also features vocals.
		The lyrics might seem a little trite and in the storyteller stakes Giltrap was perhaps no Al Stewart, and whilst Newman's arrangements here echo a more upbeat Nick Drake he lacked that performer's charisma.

		Several bands in Brittany were also closely associated with this musical movement following the work of Alan Stivell.
		Unrelated to this movement would be a few British acts of the mid-1960s whose music was based on or paralleled US folk-rock of the time, such as Chad and Jeremy, Peter and Gordon, The Searchers or Marianne Faithfull.
		Jethro Tull; not all of their music has folk elements, but Songs from the Wood, Heavy Horses and Stormwatch are clearly of this genre.
