Piers
Hogg
Piers is an outstanding electric guitar player. He has
been playing both electric and acoustic guitars for
nearly 50 years. He was chosen to perform at the
launches of both Steve Hutchinson’s album, “A
Different Sky” and Surya Cooper’s album “Mischief”.
During the pandemic he played a considerable amount
with online bands, covering many different jazz, pop
and rock songs. Prior to this he played acoustic guitar
for a Lithuanian singer and the duo covered songs
ranging from jazz standards to Russian ballads.
Probably his favourite
guitar is a Stratocaster
he assembled from
parts and he mainly
uses one of several Tech
21 Fly Rig 5s, which are
small, light, fit into a
guitar case, can be
plugged into an
amplifier or a mixing
desk and are much
better for his back than
a guitar amplifier!
Sometimes he brings
other effects units. He
says,
“Sometimes I know how
they work too!”
