Gordon GILTRAP is a well-known English, self-taught acoustic guitarist who has played since the 60's, where he was part of the folk scene in London alongside with Mike OLDFIELD, Bert JANSCH and John RENBOURN.

GILTRAP would get more recognition in the 70's as a purely instrumental figure, with his album "Visionary" released in 1976. While the following year, he would achieve even a bigger success with his own band, THE GORDON GILTRAP BAND, with "Perilous Journey", which already started using progressive elements. GILTRAP in the end of the 70's worked as a classical composer writing famous pieces like "The Brotherhood" and "The Eyes of the Wind Rhapsody".
Nowadays, GILTRAP has been working with famous musicians from the Prog world, like John ETHERIDGE of SOFT MACHINE, and in his latest release with Rick WAKEMAN of Yes.

GILTRAP is a worthy inclusion to the Archives thanks to his wide range of styles, which one of them was introducing Prog elements with his unique acoustic guitar style, which is still remembered today by folk bands.
