Richard Durrant has an international reputation as one of the great guitarists of his generation.

Since studying at the Royal College of Music he has pursued both performance and composition and kept his ever faithful, ever expanding audience close to his music with his unpretentious manner and natural skills of communication.

Richard is as comfortable performing the classical guitar at the Royal Albert Hall as he is giving a ukulele concert in the wilds of Paraguay or the smallest English village hall.

His adventures have allowed him to dip in and out of the worlds of classical, folk, world and jazz. His passion for music pervades everything he chooses to do and audiences across the world are charmed by his spirit.

His new show Stringhenge – which he brings to St Mary’s Church, Kingskersell, tomorrow (September 29) – is acoustic music inspired by the British Isles, featuring the Uffington tenor guitar, built in Sussex and a six-string concert guitar, built in Lincolnshire and made from 5,000-year-old English oak, exploring unplugged music on the folk/classical cusp.

Stringhenge is as beautifully produced and richly visual as any of Durrant’s tours of recent years. It’s also unplugged allowing the audience to hear and feel the vibrations of the wood in these incredible guitars. Music inspired by the British Isles
