GuitarFest 2009 features internationally acclaimed guitarists Gordon Giltrap, Pierre Bensusan, Gary Ryan, Rod Clements and Angelo Palladino & The Skeleton Crew. Visiting support acts for the weekend are Michael Berk, Pete Smith and Roger Inniss and Amrit Sond.

Concerts and events take place at various venues over the course of the weekend. Visit the event's website at www.iomguitarfest.com for more details. Tickets for the event are available from www.villagaiety.com
