The Music Show is delighted to announce the return of the acclaimed Fender Player’s Lounge to the RDS in February.

“Fender are delighted to join The Music Show line-up. We will be bringing our 'Fender Player's Lounge' experience where people will be able to try out very special and often rare guitars and amps in a relaxed atmosphere” said Helen Varley, Marketing Manager for Fender Musical Instruments Great Britain and Ireland.

The Fender Player’s Lounge was met with huge excitement at the last Music Show, when the public was given the opportunity to try out high-end, custom-made guitars and amps that were not readily available anywhere else. The initiative will represent a really unique experience for musicians at Ireland's music exhibition on February 25 and 26.

“Fender represents one of the most important and influential names in the industry,” said Mark Hogan, Music Show organiser. “They consistently produce instruments of impeccable quality and continue to set the standard with their guitars and amps. We're thrilled that Fender will be exhibiting at the 2012 Show and see it as a great statement of their continued support both to the Show and the Irish industry as a whole.”

With an illustrious history dating back to 1946, Fender has touched and transformed music worldwide and in nearly every genre: rock ‘n’ roll, country and western, jazz, rhythm and blues and many others. Everyone from beginners and hobbyists to the world’s most acclaimed artists and performers have used Fender instruments and amps, in the process making the company not only a revered music industry name, but also a cultural icon.

The Music Show takes place February 25 and 26 in the RDS, Dublin. Tickets available on [link]www.ticketmaster.ie/[/link]
