This unique event continues to celebrate the late, great Gordon’s links to Scotland, Ireland and Brittany as each of the four invited competitor will play sets of Scottish, Irish and Breton music. They will be judged by a panel of experts, with the overall winner named the best player of all three musical styles. This will be a great way to celebrate Gordon's legacy.
