Why does Canberra and Australia need it’s own vintage guitar show?
Vintage guitar enthusiasts and Capital Vintage Guitars’ founders Ian and Simon first met in Canberra in the mid 2000s, when Ian was running a small vintage guitar business called Zone of Tone. With some prior experience of putting on guitar events and exhibitions, Ian brought those ideas to Canberra, and Simon was a great supporter of the several Guitar Expos that we put on in the years leading up to 2012.
When Ian returned to live in Canberra in 2022, not only did Capital Vintage Guitars get off the ground but lots of musical contacts here encouraged us to bring back the National Vintage Guitar Expo in 2023. We started considering the best venue and timing. We were particularly keen to use the great auditorium space that is also home to our friends at the Canberra Blues Society, and now we’re very pleased to announce that we have the confirmed location and dates:
Sat 7 and Sunday 8 October 2023 at the Harmonie German Club, Canberra.
