British Fingerstyle - Guitar Master And Showman Extraordinaire!
GUITARIST Magazine: Acoustic fingerstylist's latest virtuoso release
It's been a while since we heard from Clive Carroll - 2009's Life in Colour having established him as one of the foremost acoustic players around today. But it was worth the wait, becauseThe Furthest Tree is an absolute gem. The album begins with a tribute to Clive's mentor, John Renbourn, who passed away last year. Entitled The Abbot's Hymn (Renbourn was known as 'The Abbot' because of his fondness for an East Anglian ale of the same name), it's a wonderful introduction to an album chock full of superb playing and outstanding compositions. Take, for instance, A Renaissance Suite, an eight-minute classically influenced duet with special guest, John Williams. Then there's The Adventures of Wilfred, an up-tempo fretboard workout that highlights Carroll's fleet-fingered fretboard abilities to the max. As far as skill beyond the call of duty is concerned, check out the track A Winter Carol, on which Clive plays two separate melodies together on the same fretboard, and listen in wonder!
Joe Robinson plays guitar like Ali boxed, like Einstein knew theoretical physics and like Hitchcock made movies. From the backwoods of Temagog, New South Wales - Australia he possesses sheer six-string ability and compositional insight, which has already earned him a world-wide following. That fact is underscored by his winning 1st prize on Australia's Got Talent in 2008 and the Australian National Songwriting Competition at the tender age of 13. Robinson continues to take quantum leaps in his songwriting and performance skills. The gifted young virtuoso has redefined himself as a budding pop-world visionary, deftly walking a tightrope between the stellar instrumental music that's put him in the spotlight and a unique fusion of vocally based rock, blues, jazz, country and R&B that's entirely his own. Performance art at it's very best!

Joscho is a german Jazz guitarist who plays mainly modern gypsy jazz, much influenced by Django Reinhardt. Great jazz musicians such as Paquito de Rivera, James Carter, Charlie Mariano or Grady Tate enthusiastically praised the talented newcomer after performing together.He has toured Australia with top guitarists Martin Taylor and Tommy Emmanuel and has performed with his own bands (trio to quintett) on numerous important European festivals (among others in Slovenia, Italy, France, Poland and the UK). His concert appearances in New York’s Lincoln Center or the American country capital Nashville were equally well-received, as were his perfomances in the New Yorker jazz shrine Birdland.
