25 years ago some friends, all passionate guitarists, had the mad idea to invite their guitar heroes to perform in a festival in their home village of Patrimonio in Corsica. The festival has never looked back, growing each year in both size and reputation to become THE event not to miss! This year’s festival runs from 19th to 26th July and promises to be an outstanding event once again, with an impressive and varied line-up.
And what better setting than the village of Patrimonio, in a region known for producing some of th islands best wine, clinging to the mountains overlooking the beautiful bay of St Florent.
