Congratulations to MTGA student Ally who has just won the Blackpool Musician of the Year Award.

The North West of England has produced many outstanding musicians over the years, including four young lads from Liverpool in the 1960's who went on to do quite well for themselves!

We've all watched Ally's dedication and progress through his many video exchanges, and it's great to see his hard work and talent recognized with this award. He is probably the most featured guitarist in our weekly Featured Video, and has made many friends and fans here at the MTGA.

I'm sure everyone here at the Martin Taylor Guitar Academy and ArtistWorks will join me in congratulating Ally on this well deserved award and wish him continued success for the future.

Well done Ally, we're all proud of you !!!
