 Dear English friends,
welcome to the official website of A.D.G.P.A. (Atkins-Dadi Guitar Players Association),
the first Italian association open to guitarists of any style which,
thanks to the support of the most important italian guitar players
and "Guitar Club" the most important guitar magazine in Italy, has become
more and more important nationwide over the years.
The association is open to all guitar players and music lovers
and offers lots of benefits to members.
The main advantage for English guitar players and luthiers
is likely to be that they could take advantage
of a free section in "CHITARRISTI / LIUTAI" to promote themselves in Italy
All that needs to be done is to subscribe to the A.D.G.P.A.
by sending an IMO to the following address
(the subscription is per calendar year)
A.D.G.P.A.- Via Curiel n. 7 - 20093 COLOGNO MONZESE (MI) ITALY
and email or post a brief profile/curriculum vitae
(that will be translated in Italian)
one picture for guitarist and one or more pictures for the luthiers
and their instruments.
Guitar players could also send some material
(either some tabs of their compositions or
some guitar lessons they use in their workshops or private lessons).
It is mandatory that all the material that is sent has a written authorisation
to be published on the internet together with contact details (name, address, etc.)
