White and Petrillo hit the ACM
The Academy Of Contemporary Music in Guildford have announced a couple of fantastic visitors to the school in March, just before the students' exams kick in.
On Wednesday 12 March Pat Petrillo, famous for his work with Gloria Gaynor and Patti LaBelle, will be hitting the school for a masterclass. Pat has also worked on many Broadway shows as well as producing a number of tuition books and videos including his latest, Hands, Grooves, and Fills.
A mere two days later (14 March), one of the UK's coolest drummers and recent Guest Lesson star on the Rhythm CD, Steve White will be hitting the school to offer advice, technique ideas and playing tips.
