3 shows and a clinic.. and I missed 2 other shows.. amazing guitarist. Flawless. Fast. Imaginative. Original. etc.

Love how his tech (The amazing Carlos Vamos, youtube it.. ) installed a humbucker in Robin's Del Arte.
Gives it a killer sound and allows for alot of different sounds depending on how he picks.

No.. the food is overpriced and portions undersized.

Robin Nolan however, kicks ass :) some serious playing ability :) His ability to go from melodic grace to blinding speed is something else.
George Harrison actually hired him a bunch to play his private parties before he passed away.

Vista18 Lounge is fun when the Cold Cut Combo are tearing it up on Thursday nights though! - Thu, 26 Jul 2007 11:21pm Edited: Fri, 27 Jul 2007 1:03am

Looks like all Robin Nolan needs is some pyro and lasers and he'll be ready to break into the mainstream touring market. - Fri, 27 Jul 2007 7:14am

Dammit.. meant to edit and deleted by mistake, and then Undo didnt work bah.

What Id said was.. he already is on a mainstream touring circuit, has been for years. These pics were at his free shows, his main gig in Victoria was at The Royal which I didnt go to due to the ticket price and Sold Out'ness. He pretty much tours the globe non stop these days it seems judging by the dates Ive seen posted on his site etc. He's also written a bunch of music books.

Of course I am joking about the mainstream touring stuff. He is obvious well known and loved by many.
But I bet he doesn't have pyro and lasers. - Fri, 27 Jul 2007 2:21pm

Carlos rules. His cover of Little Wing is phenomenal. He is also in 'Robin Nolans Street Project' who you can check out on Robins myspace link I posted above. And a very 'innovative' tech! (ie; putting a FLoyd Rose into a Selmer replica acoustic :D , also on Youtube!) - Tue, 31 Jul 2007 12:43am Edited: Tue, 31 Jul 2007 12:47am

plus a little plug for some local 'shredders' , check out Cold Cut Combo every Thurs 8pm-11ish @ Vista 18 lounge, they are both amazing guitarists and Chris rips it up on the lead work (which is almost never ending.. ), no guitarist will leave dissapointed, and admission is free!
