UK Air Guitar Champion 2012 is Bruce Amighty!
Posted on 1 October 2012 | 7:32 am
The UK Air Guitar Championships has a new champion, Bruce Almighty aka Adam Rees of Cardiff took to the stage in our Regional heat in the Welsh capital and took the Welsh Air Guitar crown there, then the UK Final. After scaling the country doing regional air guitar competitions, we brought a decent selection of air guitarists to the south coast of England to compete to become the UK Air Guitar Champion!
30th September, Coalition, Brighton.. The usual offenders turned up to see if they could progress to the latter stages, but it was a select few that shone in the darkness of the air guitar championships. Foxy, The Bandit, The Fingerer and Bruce almighty we're the top 4, dumping out the reigning champion Smokey van Porno in the cage round.
The Air Duet round showed great strength from local lad The bandit, but the Cardiff man won the crowd, coming up against the Fingerer in the Final.
We thank everyone for coming to the show, Coalition for welcoming us to their venue and for adopting us into the new Air Guitar spiritual home..

Air Guitar Champion of the UK is Smokey Van Porno
We had an unbelievable night at the Concorde 2!
We had the sequins, spandex, leather, hair, make up and entertainment of pure gold.
This year seemed less of a competition and more of an exhibition of rock of the ages.
The first round trimmed the fat off the contestant list.
The second round saw the return of 'The Cage', this was where the contestants pulled out their solo air guitar performances in the confined space. However this produced more showmanship than we expected!
The Semi Final was the air duet's round where the contestants were paired up and told to perform together...
Paired up were:
The Hurricane Titus + The Air-Venging Angel
Eddie Six Strings + The Love Rod
The Banit + Smokey Van Porno
The Banit and Smokey were so close that we had to give them a new song and get them to battle it out until the decision was audibly unanimous, which gave Smokey his final place along with Eddie Six Strings and Air-Venging Angel.
Of this super talented trio there was only one true winner.. Smokey Van Porno
Thanks to everyone who came, it was a great night, the team had great fun and we'll see you all next year!

The Air Picks Welsh Air Guitar Champion 2011 is Air-Venging Angel -
Posted on 4 August 2011 | 9:07 am
The Air-Venging Angel (Ian McDonald) stunned the audience with his sparkling wings and blissful guitaring. The irrepressible Duffy was not a welcome name in the Bogiez camp, he was applauded as the former champion but graciously gave way to the new Welsh air rock god.
With people travelling from as far as Manchester to take part it was a night to behold. High Master Dawgg, Duffy and Air-Venging Angel made it in to the final three way battle. Itchy Von Klinkerhorn, V-Dawgg were in a close 4th and 5th, the rest were good, but not that good
We thank Bogiez for their hospitality and look forward to seeing the Welsh finalists at the Concorde 2 Brighton on the 9th September for the UK Air Guitar Championships Final 2011...

N.I. Air Guitar Champion 2011 is 'Fin Air' - Finola Doran. Fin was the journalist who wrote a lovely article about air guitar returning to Northern Ireland, she came to the night and couldn't resist the temptation to get our her air axe! She knew the riffs and she will be coming to Brighton along with the runner up 'Smurfus Maximus' Emmet Harkin.. It was a hoot! and in true Irish fashion, it was fueled by booze, in moderation obviously ;)

UK Air Guitar Champion 2010 is Eddie Six Strings
Posted on 25 July 2010 | 4:57 am
After a very eventful night at the Relentless Garage in Islington we had a great final. The regulars turned out try again but it was a newbie to air guitar that took the rock hand trophy.
Eddie Six Strings won the South England heat of the championships and booked her place into the final 8, she battled against mystro, The Barber Dodger and Juan Nightstand at the very end. Despite the new technology in the show the infamous 'cheer'o'meter' the audience's reaction at the end of the final performance was overwhelming and we had a clear winner!
Eddie Six Strings is the first ever female UK Air Guitar Champion and may there be many more...
We thank all of you who took part all over the country and hope to see you in next years heats, meanwhile watch this space for loads of videos and pics!

Posted on 13 June 2010 | 7:50 am
Bunny made it quite clear that he would like a place in the London final with his enthusiastic performance. He worked hard in the first heat and made the final, but Slap head Dave gave him a going over and the challenge was on. After some audience deliberation we were pleased to announce Bunny as champion of the Scottish heat!
Well done to all the other contestants, we will have all pictures available soon on our facebook page.
Wales Air Guitar Champion 2010 is Duffy!
Posted on 4 June 2010 | 9:02 am
The man had skill and determination, he booked his place in the London Final and i feel this man will be a strong contenter for the championships. An amazing beer trick helped him but his performance was faultless.
Runner up was last years finalist Twanga Joe who made a big effort to come and compete for the Welsh title. As Twanga is already qualified for the final this summer we have given the next spot to Lady Murkin, an air duo, rough diamonds ready to be perfected...
