Biography
Classical guitarist based in Nottingham, available for weddings and functions. Whether he's playing beautiful arrangements of baroque masterpieces or revisiting favourites from the Spanish guitar repertoire, this guitarist brings an exciting new outlook to classical guitar performance. His interpretations are always fresh, innovative and special. They include Latin and flamenco standards, popular love songs and themes from film soundtracks. He also plays a renaissance lute and has a particular affection for the popular ballads and dances of the Elizabethan era.
"On a pleasant summer's afternoon in our garden, he gave us a wonderful background of classical music on both guitar and lute. This was enjoyed immensely by the many guests joining us to share in our Golden Wedding Celebrations. People were most complimentary and we were delighted that his music added something special to the day"
