This weekend - 25-26 October - sees Led Zeppelin legend John Paul Jones and a host of other stars appear at the Mansons Guitar Show at the Riverside Leisure Centre in Exeter, UK.

Saturday's programme features a performance from Jethro Tull guitarist Martin Barre. Other guests include former Darkness and current Hot Leg frontman Justin Hawkins, and Aziz Ibrahim, one-time guitarist with The Stone Roses and erm, Simply Red. Ahem.

Saturday will also see Jim Marshall signing for fans, while Sunday features a workshop from legendary sessioneer and less legendary web designer Big Jim Sullivan.

However, the biggest draw is surely John Paul Jones's Sunday Q&A. We wouldn't mind betting that one or two questions concern the prospect of more Led Zeppelin reunion gigs.

Numerous major manufacturers will be exhibiting and other clinic performances will run throughout the weekend. If you fancy swapping the usual weekend trip to the supermarket for something altogether more rocking, click here for ticket information, or call Mansons on +44 1392 496379.
