SUCCESSES

From the Bridlington Free Press, 15 April 2010:

A YOUNG BRIDLINGTON musician has secured a much-coveted place at London’s prestigious Academy of Contemporary Music.

Guitarist Jordan Fairie, who cites his influences as Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Steve Vai, auditioned to the centre to study for a degree in the instrument and said he was “really amazed” at being accepted.

He can now look forward to a career in music saying: “I want to be the best I can be”, and while he has not chosen a specific path yet, it has always been his dream to play with Eric Clapton.

Jordan has been playing the guitar for only two-and-a-half years and is currently studying at East Riding College where he is thoroughly enjoying learning about every aspect of music.

The young musician thanked Dave Allott, his guitar teacher, and Robin Tait, his music theory teacher, who helped him achieve this.
