City Halls : Recital Room

Since the first UK tour (2007) a dozen or so great guitarists, many of whom have been new to the UK, have made an impression here and gathered numerous new fans and friends. All have impressed enormously with their sheer musical skill and desire to bring high quality guitar playing to a wide array of audiences from the Shetland Islands down through Scotland and England and across to Ireland.

Each year the ‘cast’ of the show changes and once again this 5th UK tour provides a wonderful and exciting array of musical talent with loads of potential for great on-stage interaction between these very different stylists.

Lulo Reinhardt is from Germany and a grand-nephew of the great Django Lulo represents a unique style in Gypsy music today. He has taken the wonderful rhythmic and melodic music of his birthright and brought to it Latin swing. This unique combination has created a dynamic alloy of musical styles and emotions.

Joe Satriani said of Adrian Legg’s musicianship: “He’s simply the best acoustic guitar player I’ve ever heard.” Adrian of course is very well-known indeed in the UK and is a most welcome addition to the troupe’s 2012 UK tour.

Brian Gore is from San Francisco, and is one of the most interesting and influential performers of ‘the next generation’ in fingerstyle guitar. A musical romantic, his compositions are inspired by myth and modern literature.
