A music graduate of London’s Goldsmith’s College,  he was featured guitar soloist with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra before becoming established as a London studio musician in the mid-1970’s.

First internationally recognized as lead guitarist in Beatle Paul McCartney's band Wings, with whom he won a Grammy, Juber has since established himself as world-renowned guitar virtuoso and entertainer.

Juber, known to his fans as LJ, has released 23 solo albums which spotlight his unique touch and tone on solo acoustic guitar. He has released two collections of solo guitar arrangements of Beatles songs and one of post-Beatles McCartney and Wings tunes.

His LJ Plays The Beatles was voted one of Acoustic Guitar Magazine's all-time Top Ten albums. His solo arrangement of  The Pink Panther Theme earned him a second Grammy, while his arrangement of Stand By Me was heard nationally in the USA in a Diamonds Are Forever commercial. Juber’s DVD-Audio project Guitar Noir (AIX Records) won a CES Demmy award for best audio.

LJ’s 'photo memoir' Guitar With Wings was recently published by Dalton Watson Fine Books and features his collection of photographs and recollections of the period he worked with Paul and Linda McCartney, including many previously unpublished photos of Wings in the recording studio and on stage.


A superb pictorial account of LJ’s musical journey.…….  Juber’s well-written words and never-before-seen photos nearly match his unbelievable talents as one of the world’s most respected and gifted guitars players. A wonderful read.”
Chris Carter – Host “Breakfast with The Beatles;” KLOS-FM Los Angeles


As a studio musician, he has recorded with Beatles Ringo Starr and George Harrison, plus he can be heard on albums from artists as diverse as Dan Hicks & The Hot Licks, Seal and the French chanteuse Sylvie Vartin. His playing is featured on the soundtracks to hundreds of TV shows such as Home Improvement and movies including the academy award-winning Dirty Dancing, Good Will Hunting and Pocahontas.

Juber co-composed the soundtrack of the award-winning video game Diablo III and scored the NBC Dateline documentary Children Of The Harvest. His music is also featured in the Ken Burns’ documentary The Tenth Inning.

“A Master!“ Pete Townshend, The Who 

“LJ is a musical chameleon who shines brightly regardless of the landscape.” - Will Turpin, Collective Soul

The melodies, textures and harmonies he coaxes out of an acoustic guitar are absolutely spellbinding."Guitar Player Magazine

"At the heart of LJ's sound and style breathes a near-flawless technique where a fiercely emotional underbelly, alternate tunings, and keen sense of melody and rhythm coalesce into something uniquely his own..you don't have to be a solo-happy guitar worshipper to appreciate his talents." - Inland Empire Weekly

"....the notes spin out of the songs with such finesse and musical agility, it's hard to believe he has only 10 fingers and six strings." - San Francisco Chronicle

Notes to Editors

We’ve set up a page at http://laurencejuber.com/LJ_Tracks.htmlwith a selection mp3s of solo and ensemble tunes that can be listened to and also downloaded for media.

Laurence is available for telephone and e-mail interviews ahead of his visit and there may also be some in person opps when he arrives in Liverpool for these fabulous events.

Is a gig mention / feature and an interview with Laurence something that we can set up please?

This truly is a fabulous opportunity to see, hear and speak to such a talented maestro and virtuoso and we expect Laurence to be in high demand before, and during these few days of live NW availability.
