After many years of performing in excess of seventy weddings a year I feel quietly confident in advising couples on the right live wedding music for their celebration.

They can be used at various times of the day to change the tone or feeling of that particular section of the proceedings. Some wedding bands can provide live wedding music for all parts of the day. Jazz not Jazz has such bands on their roster of musicians and they are much in demand.

For some guitarists, the signature guitar can either give them the tone of their hero, or just be another way to get more money out of them. So here we have picked three signature metal beasts that need some attention.
The Dimebag range from Dean Guitars. While most guitarists have one signature guitar -Pantera and Damageplan's guitarist has had thirty three done in his honour. After his death in 2004 Dean decided not to let the guitarists name go into obsuricty and bought out a large range of Dimebag Darrell guitars. The pickups in the guitar depends on the age -newer ones feature the 'Dimebucker', instead of EMGs. If your after a Dean just choose with pickups you like better and then go for which guitar looks good to you. If Dimebag was your hero, this is the range to look at prices range from the 'dimeblade' at £219 to the 'rebel razorback' at £3500 -so choose wisely.

What makes Jimi Hendrix’s sound easily recognizable from Carlos Santana? How can you easily tell metal from funk, even if let’s say the metal player and the funk player are playing the same song (very unlikely, but bear with me here)? The answer: guitarists use effects to color their sound and give it a kind of modification suited to the type of music involved.

It may be surprising to some that some of the best musical artists in the world have performed in Israel, considering the fact that this tiny country usually makes the news due to a bombing or political problem. Just recently, the mega-star band Depeche Mode performed an action packed concert to a sold out audience of 40,000 people. Every summer, some of the best jazz and blues performers from all around the world play at the Red Sea International Jazz Festival in Eilat. The Zephirelli production of Carmen and La Boheme were recently performed in the Israeli Opera House with an international cast of the greatest opera singers available.
