Last week, at the Gibson Garage London kickoff event music icons Jimmy Page, Tony
Iommi, Sir Brian May, James Bay, and Rosie Frater-Taylor were on hand to celebrate
the opening with a special “In Conversation” event with legendary guitarist Jimmy
Page, and live music on the Gibson Garage London stage. On opening day, Saturday,
February 24, music fans lined up around the block starting at 4:00AM for access.
Upon opening the doors, the Gibson Noel Gallagher ’78 Les Paul Custom hand-signed
guitars sold out completely within the first 30 minutes, with all profit from the
sales of these guitars going to the Teenage Cancer Trust. Ritchie Faulkner of Judas
Priest, The Blackout, Tyler Childers Band, and Gibson Generation Group artist Charlie
Churchill came out to usher in an opening day with a packed crowd all day long. 
The opening culminated a month-long series of events celebrations in the London 
music community around the opening of the Gibson Garage London.

The Gibson Garage London is the ultimate guitar and music experience and features
uniquely British cultural discoveries around every corner and level. Music fans 
will experience regular live performances, artist showcases and signings, and panel
discussions from musicians and artists, all from its state-of-the-art stage located
on the lower level of the Garage. The Gibson Gallery, a bi-annual revolving gallery
wall, displays the photography of British artists and musicians. The inaugural exhibition
at the Gibson Gallery will debut with an exclusive collection from legendary music
photographer Gered Mankowitz (The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, PP Arnold, Kate 
Bush, Elton John, The Jam, Eurythmics, and Oasis).
