Part of Isle of Arts Festival 2014
Sunday 4 May - 3.00 pm – Ventnor Arts Club – Tickets £ 9.00
This French-born guitarist grew up in Switzerland where he was classically trained, before further exploring the guitar without the limitations of written music and delving headlong into folk, blues, jazz and rock music.
Now based in the UK, he has become a world-renowned player, highly acclaimed for his finger-picking style. He plucks, picks and strums at such speed that his fingers seem just a blur. Occasionally adding lyrics in his soft, slightly gruff voice, Claude is a master of his craft and his performance will keep the audience spellbound. Fresh from a tour of Germany, he will be doing a few shows in the UK around the time of our festival, before setting off for a lengthy tour of the USA and appearances in various European countries later in the summer.
" ...This accomplished artist offers a tender, compelling performance through highly developed precision. His sound instantly creates ambience – from haunting Spanish moods to lyrical, romantic jazz, Claude Bourbon provides both a rich evening of music for lovers, and a real treat for music lovers" -BBC UK
