26th Nov is an important day for Gordon. It sees the public launch of a project he has been working on for 8 years!

The Secret Valentine,Cool Acoustics / Rob Armstrong hybrid acoustic guitar has a polymer soundboard. Gordon is so impressed by the Secret Valentine guitar that he has recorded his first solo studio album for 16 years, using solely this instrument.

The resulting album, also entitled [[Secret Valentine,]] is a captivating new recording of Gordon’s most romantic and melodic pieces. The album is recorded as an enhanced audio CD that includes a video interview with Gordon and the creators of the guitar.

There is lots of info on the website about both the instrument and the CD - a good place to start would be the December News Update page.

ok thanks
I was just hoping we could look forward to some new material

Hi Pete.

I promise MUCH new material in 2008 like you have never heard before, but in the meantime I hope that folk will be interested in THREE new pieces on the Valentine album.

Worry not sir, I haven't dried up just yet...grin..

Regards.
