UK Air Guitar Championships sponored by Air Picks

Have you got what it takes to be
the next UK Air Guitar Champion?

You might think you're god's gift to air guitar and play at every opportunity, or you may be a closet rocker. But whether you play air guitar in your bedroom, at gigs, parties or just in front of the mirror, we have a place for you on our stage.

When you take the stage you won’t know what to expect. You're on your own with just your air guitar and a few hundred screaming fans. But when the lights come on and the guitars start thrashing on your favourite tune, you'll forget the audience and feel the ecstasy of a true rock legend. Hendrix, Grohl, Page, whoever the hell you want, just get it on! Well at least until the music stops and the audience show their feelings.

Anything goes, whether it’s fancy dress, outrageous moves or even if you wanna compete against your mates or team up with them in an air guitar rock band!

The Air Picks UK Air Guitar Champion 2011 is Smokey Van Porno - aka James Crowter

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!
