Biography
Geoff Robb is the owner of this website and has many years of experience at providing background music for events. He started the guitar at the age of 11, and began making a living entirely from his music at the age of 18 whilst travelling in Europe as a street musician for 2 years.
He studied classical guitarist under Paul Gregory (winner of the International Segovia Prize), and has had tuition from Gilbert Biberian, Gary Ryan, Roberto Aussell and Roland Dyens.

He has performed as a soloist with The Bath Concertina Orchestra and enjoys regular concerts at festivals including Glastonbury, Edinburgh and Brighton where his shows are always a sell out. He has also given concerts in Ireland and Switzerland.

Recommendations:
"I just wanted to thank you so much for your performances at Catherine & Will's wedding on saturday - I was so sorry not to thank you personally and to have missed your departure, but I understand that Catherine & Will saw you and thanked you.
Your playing was perfect and I was personally very grateful for your beautiful playing, particularly before the ceremony whilst waiting for Catherine! The pieces we all eventually chose created just the right atmosphere, and many of our guests of all ages commented upon your playing and how much they had enjoyed it. Thank you so much for helping to make Catherine & Will's day so special and memorable."
