    That's excellent, second out of so many.
    I do believe him to be 16 now though?

    I'm afraid you got it wrong I can asure you he is fifteen until his birthday in October I should know I'm his grandad! and it's still a terific achievment I believe there was over 750 entries to start with even to get to the final was a great achievment especially as many of them were professional players!

    I was merely asking if he was 16!
    It says on his youtube account he is 16, was just wondering.

    But nevermind, well done for a great achievement!

    Superb result - well done Lyle!

    EDIT: According to the website the prizes include music equipment & accessories, tuition, and optionally appearing on a finalists CD. However it doesn't list prizes by position so there's no way of knowing as yet. However I suspect that by far the greatest thing that Lyle will take home from his trip will be the memories of this whole experience.

    What a stunning result for a 15 year old form Thurso, Caithness. Hope he goes a long way with his talent. Just imagine what the possibilities are when he's 20 or so!! Great news - well done Lyle

    As far as I'm aware (other than Thurso High School and Thurso Gala town square performances - sorry for me these don't count . . . . . ) the London Guitar Idol final was his SECOND ever public performance!!!! (the first being a couple of weeks ago).

    Well bloody done.

    He needs to tell you tube he's 16 to view "adult" content.

    Caught!
