An exceptional recital of consistent quality performed entirely from memory. Technically accomplished throughout, the performance was most communicative with an often compelling narrative present in all of the repertoire.

Thank you so much for playing at my Celebration Dinner last night! The sound of your guitar, and the music chosen, created a wonderful ambience in the Great Hall, which was commented upon by many of the guests.
