With this electrifying tribute to the electric guitar, he fills the Bierhübeli in Bern and the Kaufleuten in Zurich. The concept of Night of the Guitars comes from a guitarist himself: Zlatko "Slädu" Perica, who wrote the history of music with Gölä and Tangerine Dream and made a name with DJ Bobo, Florian Ast, Bligg or Luca Hänni.
He had the idea of bringing together a dozen great Swiss guitarists on a stage, most of which play successively through decades of rock history. The highlight of the show is graduation, when all the guitarists play together in front of the audience. That's what the fans came from all over Switzerland and from elsewhere. That was at least what it was nine years ago when the artist was turning to other ideas.
The Perfect Complement
The current director of Thuner Konzepthalle 6 now remembers this format with Michael Marti, owner of Yeahman's Vintage & Used Guitars in Bern, and Torfinn Rothenbühler. The two organizers of Yeahman's Guitar Fest have approached it.
For them, the perfect complement, because the two previous performances of the biggest guitar event in Switzerland were essentially nothing less than anything except live music. For his part, Perica says that he would have liked to start the next series of concerts. But: "I would have had far too much respect to attack that alone."
The trio found themselves quickly: Perica knows the occasion and its place of visit as a visitor. Burgdorf is ideally located, he thinks, as it is easily accessible from everywhere. Better yet, only if the occasion should happen in the middle of a big city. The trading room is also predestined for a new edition because it must have very good conditions and space for a big stage and a lot of spectators.
And in general: the synergies between stock market, fair and stage the other side is obvious. For example, Burgdorf will become a mecca for guitar fans during a weekend in October. The Yeahman Guitar Festival will be held as usual on Sunday, September 16, the Guitar Night the previous Friday
New also internationally
Their new edition is not limited to sizes Nationals, but it also focuses on international competition horses: with Jennifer Batten, once Michael Jackson's guitarist, and with Justin Hawkins, who is back on tour with the British rock band The Darkness, which he founded with his brother Dan.
In Burgdorf, they meet Tommy Vetterli (Coroner), Schöre Müller (Span), Freddy Scherer (Gotthard), Marc Amacher or Thomas Muster (Shakra) – the list of all the guitarists here would be out of place.
Resonance in Italy
Although the Emmestadt can not shine with many overnight stays, the organizers are sure that both events will fertilize – even if there is a day in between. This day is necessary for the conversion of the trading hall from the concert hall to the stock exchange with about 60 booths.
Torfinn Rothenbühler, who co-organizes the Guitar Fest in his spare time as a representative of urban marketing, sees in this "ad hoc guitar cluster" the possibility of carrying the name of Burgdorf throughout Switzerland and beyond. of the. An example? The Italian fan club The Darkness contacted him to plan his stay.
There is a potential for a big event: if there were 1550 entries that Yeahman booked in 2016, the increase is 1800 entries last year handsome. Perica, who spoiled the success as the organizer of the Night of Guitars, also hopes to fill the market with about 2,000 people.
However, he does not want to put his expectations too high because it is now a new story. Whoever takes time to establish and grow. "We will see what lies ahead."
