| Fretwired on the Guitarist Forum wrote: | Thought you might like to know that a limited edition CD has been produced with all the proceeds going to Eric Roche and his family. The CDs called for Eric and features a range of talent from Martin Taylor, Adrian Legg, Gordon Giltrap, Dave Kilminster, Guthrie Govan, Jamie Humphries, Jason Sidwell, Lee Hodgson, Neville Martin, Pete Callard, Phil Hilborne, Shaun Baxter and others.
There are only 3,000 being made and you can order one by clicking here - ordered mine this morning - it's for a good cause.
Sadly, Eric's cancer has developed further and he is currently receiving hospice care near to his home town. |
This is really grim news  , Eric is another great guitarist writing for GT. I met him once and had a really cool discussion about Chapman Sticks and Stanley Jordan.. check out his incredible music on his site.

I'll be ordering mine when I get home from work tonight. Just haven't had the time to check up on things here lately. This is a great loss to the guitar community...

According to the posts on the Eric Roche website and on other forums, Eric's struggle with cancer is over. He died in his sleep earlier this week.
