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!

The Air Picks Welsh Air Guitar Champion 2011 is Air-Venging Angel -

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...

Northern Ireland Air Guitar Champion 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 ;)
