Orianthi

Greek-Australian musician Orianthi Panagaris has backed Alice Cooper, jammed with Carlos Santana, and played at Michael Jackson's funeral. In fact, she's one of the world's most high-profile female guitarists, and she's not even 30 yet. Her own music, a fairly generic blend of pop, punk and hard rock, tends towards the Avril Lavigne end of things with occasional metal excursions – but if you want to watch someone play guitar really, really well, then you could do a lot worse than come down to this London show.
