The solo show is built around high energy classic rock guitar, with blues rock and hard rock running through the repertoire. Songs associated with AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, Metallica, Van Halen and The Rolling Stones show how firmly the music sits in that world.

Good to know
What to expect
One guitarist, and a sound that fills a room like a full band. Wayne Gardner plays live over high quality backing tracks, so the low end and the drums are there while the guitar work happens in front of you. The material is hard rock, rock and blues rock: Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, The Angels, Van Halen, ZZ Top, Status Quo, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, plenty more from the 60s through the 90s. Four decades of gigs sit behind it, and it shows in how little he has to work to hold a crowd.
On the day
Nothing to organise, which is the advantage of booking one person who brings everything. Wayne arrives with a full PA and a lighting rig, plus the backing tracks that carry the rest of the band's parts. So a venue with no stage gear and no house system still gets a proper rock show, and a small room gets it without losing half the floor to equipment.
