Taranaki Daily News has issued the following report from Matt Rilkoff:
SCORPIONS guitarist ULI JON ROTH arrived in New Plymouth yesterday but his all important guitar equipment did not.
Roth's arrival kicked off this week's G-TARanaki international guitar festival. He is here to run three guitar Sky Academy seminars for 40 teenage guitar-nuts, as well as playing the headline act at Friday's concert at TSB stadium in New Plymouth. Roth is the first big name to arrive in town.
An Air New Zealand luggage stuff-up did not take much of the shine off the long-haired, bandanna-wearing guitarist's welcome on to Waitara High School yesterday afternoon.
Deputy principal Daryn Shaw explained to Roth he was being welcomed with aroha. "This is usually translated as love but it is much more than love.
"It's a caring, a sensitivity and an ability to serve," he said.
