Now in its 7th year supporting Teenage Cancer Trust, the official Air Guitar UK Championships will be held on Friday the 27th July at The Dome in Tufnell Park (AKA The Boston Arms)!
The 2012 Championships organised by Air Guitar UK aim to find the country's greatest air guitarist, the man or woman who will be crowned Air Guitar UK Champion, and win a once in a lifetime trip to represent the nation in the battle for global supremacy at the World Air Guitar Championships in Finland!
"This is always such a fun event in our music fundraising calendar, plus, it has raised lots of money over the years for young people diagnosed with cancer. We’re looking forward to the evening to see everyone’s best air guitar moves.” Teenage Cancer Trust

"PLENTY of good old rock ’n’ roll thrashing around comes to Tufnell Park tomorrow (Friday) night, but no actual guitars will be hurt in the process." - Camden New Journal
"Some of these people are geniuses!" - Eamonn Fleming
