Guitaring icon Steve Vai has been in the music industry for more than four decades. He was last in Bristol during his previous tour in 2014 and since then he's done just one show - three years ago.
Last Saturday, he performed in Glasgow, marking his first show and the first time Steve had been on a stage with a band in three years - something he calls "kind of nuts". After spending much of his time recently in a whole other world - working with world famous classical conductors and orchestras in Holland - he'll be performing in Bristol this Thursday (June 9) at the O2 Academy.
For anyone reading who isn't a fan of Steve, or who simply has never heard of him before, the musician describes himself as everything from an "instrumental rock guitar player" to a "wizard".
