The event bio is below:

G-TARanaki International Guitar Festival will cater for all tastes and persuasions, covering rock, blues, classical, jazz, folk and much much more. Taranaki will resonate to the tune of massed strings over the six-day period, culminating in concerts at the New Plymouth TSB Stadium delivered exclusively by international guitar legends.

Not only will attendees be able to witness this guitar mastery in an intimate environment but they will also witness some unique combinations of players that will make G-TARanaki a talking point for future generations.

G-TARanaki is presented by Venture Taranaki Trust, with support from New Plymouth District Council.
