Classical Mandolin

Below is the video from my recent show at Shaftesbury Arts Centre on 20th September 2014. It includes pieces by Vivaldi, Mozart, Beethoven and a few English folk tunes. I am supported by a fantastic ensemble of local musicians and this is our debut performance.

Please use the 'Contact Me' section above to arrange bookings.

***Switching the video to high definition 720p also improves sound quality, this significantly improves the high frequency tones of the mandolin***
