Air guitar

Ever wondered what a national air guitar championship would look like? Well, so did Todd, and somehow he convinced me that it was something that I had been wondering, too. So on Friday night, he and I, along with Al and Becks, rocked (heh) up to the O2 Academy Islington to check it out.

And, as it turns out, an air guitar championship is pretty much exactly what you’d expect it is – a bunch of people on stage jamming to music, on air guitar. Each contestant had 60 seconds to show off their moves, after which they were judged by a panel of dudes who were nowhere near as cool as they thought they were.

Still, for a tenner, it was a decent evening of entertainment! Here’s a sample of some of the acts from the night:

The first guy is the ex-national champion from the UK; the second act was “sudden death” for the two finalists; the guy in the black shirt with pink writing was the winner.
