Two of Scotland’s foremost acoustic guitarists, Simon Kempston ('A master of fingerstyle guitar' (Scotsman)) and Paul Tasker ('one of the leading guitarists of his generation' (Maverick)), present their collaboration of original instrumental music. After two sell-out runs, the duo now proudly present their debut album. Drawing on elements of classical, folk and contemporary styles, the show blends intimate story-telling and masterful compositions which invite audiences to explore the expressive power of music beyond language. An essential show, not to be missed by any lover of the guitar, or newcomers seeking an experience beyond traditional performance.
