Oscar Magpye's profile picture
Guitarist
Brighton

Started busking in Australia 10 years ago, loved playing to all ages, familys and people out for a party. With this money went to Cambodia to play in the bars and went on to India to record CDs. Then hopped off to Istanbul and got into the music scene there, bit of folky balkan and lots of Irish music. Did the rounds again went back to Australia, India and ended up in Spain, in Granada. Here I was playing in the bars, restaurants and busking in the winding streets under big mansions. Now I am back in the UK as an independent musician, writing and recording new songs. I have played at weddings, funerals, in markets, outside stadiums. I like to sing some romantic songs and can learn any songs. I've been playing guitar since a kid and will be playig till im grey.

Oscars music complimented the romantic ambiance of the wedding, the sounds of his guitar resonated throughout the guests and livened them up. He certainly is a virtuoso.
