London International Guitar Show 2026

That Pedal Show Live Band

The irrepressible Dan & Mick will take to the Live Stage for a 90-minute session that's half band performance and half Q&A. Joined by Dougie Mussard on drums and Paddy Blight on bass, they'll play a handful of guitar- and tone-packed songs that we can all discuss and dissect together. Gain staging, delay, modulation, reverbs, wet-dry, volume, tangents... all the usual TPS stuff but done with a band to really put the concepts in context.

As always with these guys, everything is unpredictable except one thing: fantastic guitar tones are guaranteed!

John Smith

Born in Essex, raised by the Devon seaside and making his bones in the bars and clubs of Liverpool, England's one and only John Smith has been at the pioneering forefront of British Folk Guitar Music for twenty years. He has amassed well over 125 million Spotify streams and played his songs all over the world. He cut his teeth opening for John Martyn and has since played with Joan Baez, Jackson Browne, Sarah Jarosz, Lisa Hannigan, David Gray, The Milk Carton Kids, Roseanne Cash, Jerry Douglas and Richard Hawley. Recently he marked his 20th anniversary in 2025 which current release “Gatherings” celebrates, revisits, and reimagines songs from his first three albums, with brand new interpretations of his own and audience favourites from over 2,000 live shows.
