SOLO GUITAR MUSIC
“Sam's playing manages the rare thing of combining technical prowess with considered musicality, whilst all wrapped up in a sound that is uniquely his own. Whether it be performing repertoire by other composers or presenting his original work, Sam's playing really showcases the best of what acoustic guitar is all about.”
-Will McNicol
guitarist, composer, performer and tutor extraordinaire
