Sunday 31st May
Walter Strauss Live Performance
£9/£10
2.30pm
“HOW has this innovative guitarist stayed off the radar for so long? Technically, stylistically and most important of all, passionately he is up there with the greats…” – Taplas Magazine (Wales)
“Walter Strauss kicks global arse… encompasses Western classical and jazz-values, plus rootsy African and Americana with bewildering aplomb.”– Allgigs.co.uk
“…a glimpse into the ear-bending possibiliities of bringing the harp-like phrasing and polyrhythms of West African kora music to the steel-string acoustic guitar. Strauss is a spirited player and a strong vocalist.” Guitarist Magazine, 4 stars
“If you haven’t encountered Strauss’s guitar take on kora music, this is a great place to start. He brings his incendiary technique to George Harrison and even Woody Guthrie songs as well, and his own stuff is left-field and good, too.” – fRoots Magazine
“…[Planet Solitaire] delicately stuns with its breathtaking solo virtuosity… and enchants with its supple imagery.” – Folk and Roots / Netrhythms
