I have attached a .pdf copy (see link below) of my interview with the Acoustic Magazine. I hope it is informative and any feedback/ comments would be appreciated. I also have two instruments that have been reviewed by the magazine one which will appear in the December 2009 issue 36. See copy of interview below.  I will post a .pdf of issue 37 interview when it is published next month.

Julie Matthews (http://www.whileandmatthews.co.uk) has just ordered a guitar shaped bouzouki ( or gazouki) and chosen some beautiful English Walnut from my stock. I can’t wait to hear it sing.

Mike Silver (http://www.mikesilver.co.uk) has just taken delivery of two Powell Guitars with the back/sides made from Iroko. The wood belonged to his much loved father in law, described by Mike as a ‘prince amongst men” The instruments are a four string Tenor guitar (model SFT) and a full size SFG (photo’s to follow) Cutting the Iroko presented a few problems due to the depth of the wood and bending it was also challenging but the instruments turned out just fine. The Iroko has helped produce a lovely rich warmth and depth to the instruments.
