Craig Ogden - guitar - Gretton Village Hall

We first saw a concert by Craig Ogden in Uppingham, a couple of years ago, and were delighted to find him performing just down the road!   Varied, entertaining programme - from Albeniz to modern compositions by William Lovelady and Gary Ryan, from a piece in 11/8 time, by Serbian, Miroslav Tadic,  to an arrangement of Over the Rainbow, with Django Reinhardt's Nuages as an encore.

All interwoven with anecdotes, technical info about the guitar and how a guitarist keeps his fingernails in tip-top condition.

Brilliant.
