A LIVE concert style 'rockumentary' is coming to Weymouth Pavilion on May 22 paying homage to some of the greatest guitar heroes of all time.

Phil Walker will take the audience on a journey through the decades from when the first legends of the rock 'n' roll era began in the 1950s, through to the most creative and inspirational modern guitar heroes of today.

Phil first picked up a guitar when he was six years old.

His first ever gig was at the age of eleven in a social club near his home town of Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire.

Phil has been a professional musician/entertainer and sound engineer for more than two decades.

The band is made up of Phil, Dan 'FB' Betts, Toby James and Kristian Dluzewski.

The show will be using some of the country's most talented musicians alongside the very latest in video screen technology.

The guitar is used in all kind of music, from rock to pop and from folk to reggae.

The Story of Guitar Heroes highlights many of the prolific artists who have used the guitar as the catalyst for many new ideas, with the instrument as the heart of so many revolutions not only in music but also in culture and society.

With more than 20 guitars used on stage, Phil and his band accurately recreate the sound and ambience of heroes such as Eddie Cochran, Hank Marvin, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Claption, Brian May, Slash, Joe Satriani and many more.

This awe inspiring show will not only appeal to all those budding guitar heroes out there but to music lovers of all ages.

The Story of Guitar Heroes is at Weymouth Pavilion on Friday May 22.
