P O M is an intense and extremely gifted guitarist & composer. With blinding speed and near flawless technique, he tears into his music with all the flair of a flamenco Jimi Hendrix: Shattering and shifting ideas about what is possible or even acceptable for an acoustic guitar.
-Tinfoil Music - (USA)
"Sure us electric leadsters like to think we're hot but what this fleet fingered London lad can do on a nylon strung acoustic guitar. Sheesh getouddahea!!!".
- Guitar Magazine - (UK)
"Although playing, periodically, at almost gratuitous speeds, I conceded to the skill through his humour and considerable taste. The inventiveness with which he played his Flamenco guitar using a double-handed technique more associated with electric guitarist Eddie Van Halen captivated an audience receiving him with vociferous appreciation".
- Classical Guitar Magazine, concert review: The Purcell Room, South Bank, London.
"You probably won't have seen an acoustic nylon strung guitar played like this before is what P O M says. No sh** Sherlock! Is my reply. P O M has all the makings of an electric guitar hero; tattoos, long hair, attitude, two handed tapping techniques and killer chops - believe me, the guy is good. What he doesn't have is a pointy headstocked rock axe and a dirty great Marshall stack - far too easy. Instead P O M abuses a Conde Hermanos Spanish made flamenco acoustic. Using techniques usually associated with the likes of Van Halen, Vai and Satriani, P O M thrashes his guitar into submission with more style, flair and musical taste than is strictly fair for one person to possess.

Wilfy Williams announces his first solo gig supporting the world famous Alabama3 at Dirty South in London on Saturday 22nd December 2007. Alabama3 are the best live band in the country(The Guardian) who wrote Woke Up This Morning, theme tune to the hit show The Sopranos.
With Wilfy supporting its sure to be a night to remember. The Pompey Busker is a man on a mission to put English music back where it belongs at the pinnacle of the music world. He’s been attracting support from some of the most influential and talented people in the business. With his genius lyrics and epic guitar solos, the demos on myspace offer a solid, if minimal glimpse of the entertainer and performer that is Wilfy Williams.
You may remember Wilfy Williams from such previous songwriting favourites as:
STAR IN THE CROWD(Daily) THE WHO(Daily) ADAMANT(The Fret) A DIFFERENT SOUND(The Fret) &More Recently A NEW BEGINNING(Wilfy Williams).
His new tune HEAVEN THROUGH YOUR EYES was recorded with his friend and mentor Phil Owen(old school Pompey Busker) who has passed his ‘hat’ and his wisdom on to Wilfy. The song is available to download for free only on myspace.
