Northleach, Gloucestershire for Northleach Events

Craig has carved out a career as one of the most versatile guitarists on the planet: playing recitals, concertos, commissioning new works – and he’s the most sought-after guitarist for chamber music in the UK.

Cited by BBC Music Magazine as: “A worthy successor to Julian Bream”, his discography includes an album of 20th-century classics by British composers previously played by Julian Bream that was nominated for a Grammy Award; six albums that have reached number-one on the UK Classical charts, and a recording of Rodrigo’s guitar concertos that received the ultimate accolade from the composer’s daughter: “This recording has confirmed your position among the greatest guitarists.”

Craig will be available after the concert to talk to the audience and sign copies of his CDs.
