Guitarist Magazine's 2011 Young Guitarist Of The Year, 13-year-old James Bell, performs his winning composition, A New Hope, live at the Guitarist Of The Year 2011 live finals on 4 June 2011. The finals took place at London's prestigious Southbank Centre as part of the London Guitar Festival.
In addition to the respect and admiration of his peers, James also won Blackstar HT Stage 60 and HT-1 amplifiers, courtesy of YGOTY 2011 sponsors Blackstar Amplification, and the chance to open next year's Guitarist Of The Year live final. Well done James!
