Professional Concert Richard Smith
Regis School of Music, 46 Sudley Road, Bognor Regis, PO21 1ER
West Sussex Guitar Club would like to invite all music enthusiasts to our forthcoming recital by the versatile finger picking maestro Richard Smith. Born with highly dexterous fingers and a photographic musical memory he was invited to join Chet Atkins at His Majesty's Theatre at the age of 11 where he stunned the audience with his performance of Chet’s own arrangements.
The music of Chet Atkins, Django Reinhardt and Jerry Reed is his native tongue and he has performed with world renowned artists such as Tommy Tedesco, Joe Pass, Bireli Lagrene and Les Paul. He also performs with his brothers Rob and Sam in the Richard Smith Guitar Trio and as a duo with his American cellist wife Julie Adams.
Richard loves travelling and every gig is a home from home, regardless of the size of the audience. After an extensive summer tour of the USA WSGC is delighted that Richard will be visiting the Regis School of Music in Bognor. His ever growing repertoire comprises a wide variety of music from Bach to the Beatles, Scott Joplin Rags, Sousa Marches, Chopin, Mozart fiddle tunes, jazz standards, Gypsy Jazz and some home grown compositions. He truly is a jukebox.
