Richard Durrant
About this event
Indie-classical composer & concert guitarist Richard Durrant will also play music from the High Baroque, the English Baroque and (in a fascinating homage to John Renbourn, Bert Jansch & Martin Carthy) the English Folk Baroque.
Durrant’s intriguingly unpretentious style of delivery and the emotional depth of his music; witness the onstage persona of an informative, friendly, stand-up musician. He is of one of the world’s most inventive, guitar virtuosos.
His stunning performances have been heard live on BBC Radio 2, Radio 3, Radio 4 and 6 Music.
