(Gibson) Having just finished a 36-date autumn tour across the UK, blues pioneer and hugely influential bandleader John Mayall spoke with Music Radar in an article titled '5 Minutes Alone: John Mayall."

I think that the individuality of the performer is the most important thing." Read more here. Gibson.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
