‘Best Acoustic Guitarist in the World’ Jon Gomm coming to Cambridge




Jon Gomm is a singer-songwriter and acoustic solo performer based in Yorkshire.

Known for his virtuoso guitar style, he produces a huge, multi-layered sound filled with bass, drums and near-orchestral depth and complexity.

His songs are often deeply emotive and his live performances are intimate and powerful, but always punctured by his natural north of England wit and self-deprecation.

In 2020, Jon was voted ‘Best Acoustic Guitarist in the World’ in the largest online poll of its type, conducted by MusicRadar and Guitar World.

Ibanez guitars launched the JGM10 and JGM5 Jon Gomm Signature Model guitars in 2021. He is the third guitarist ever to design a signature acoustic with Ibanez, the previous two being Joe Satriani and Steve Vai.

In 2023, Jon’s song Passionflower was placed sixth in Total Guitar’s ‘50 Greatest Acoustic Guitar Songs of All Time’, just behind The Beatles’ Blackbird and Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton.

Jon is also a passionate advocate for mental health and neuro-diversity. He is set to perform at Storey’s Field Centre in Cambridge on Friday, 18 October.

Tickets, priced £19.80 – plus booking fee – are available from storeysfieldcentre.org.uk. It is a seated event and seats are unreserved.
