McGRORY’S BACKROOM
•In 1996 at the tender age of 12, this young Dutchman got the chance to play with his guitar hero Jan Akkerman on national television and the following year he won the National Guitar Awards.
•In 2001 Wim met two musicians who shared interest in the music of computer games and together they set up the Nintendo cover band Cursor. In the composed music of the later project Paroxysm some Nintendo-influences are remarkable.
•In recent times, Wim's playing has become more noticable because of an amazing You Tube video where he plays along with a recording of Oscar Peterson.
