In this special event for Ards International Guitar Festival, Distortion Through the Decades dives into a world of distorted guitars and heavy riffs, with Junior Afrifa and guests.

This hour-long event will travel through eight decades, covering genres such as Blues, Rock, Grunge, and Metal. We'll spotlight key moments, including the inception of pivotal guitar effects like Fuzz, Overdrive, and Advanced Digital Processors.

Hosted by Junior Afrifa, an internationally acclaimed guitarist with multiple album releases, who will perform live demonstrations of the influential riffs that have shaped the guitar's evolution alongside guest performers.

So, sit back, relax, grab a pint, and let's make some noise!
