ACOUSTIC MADNESS
An exciting show featuring Michael Berk, Amrit Sond and Pete Smith  

Three guys + three guitars = A whole lot of Acoustic Madness!

Some of the best guitarists around sharing one stage is a show that has it all. With influences ranging from classical, through jazz to pop they put on a concert that will delight not only fans of virtuoso guitar playing but any lover of great music. Bernard Hoskin  Acoustic Routes

Michael Berk  Myspace
In Michael`s reviews the words Virtuoso, Exciting and Stunning crop up again and again...and not without good reason. He started playing at the age of six and has developed his style from the techniques he absorbed playing flamenco, celtic, heavy metal, folk, reggae and rock. Each one of his tunes is not only a master class in technical excellence but a dynamic rollercoaster ride charting his continuing development as one of the UK`s fastest rising guitar stars.

"Michael Berk can safely be called a guitar virtuoso with a fingerstyle wizardry and intricate compositions that left an open-jawed audience mesmerised."
BBC Berkshire
 
"...one of the most exciting guitarists I've heard in a long time… A virtuoso in any field who has still to reach his peak. Highly recommended!"
Bridge Guitar Reviews

Amrit Sond  website (Grammy winner 2005)
Amrit Sond is a unique musician...period!!! Too often  the term “unique” is applied haphazardly to guitarists but in Amrit`s case it is absolutely appropriate. Born in Kenya and exposed to both African and Arabic music Amrit`s compositions cite not only his geographical influences but involve sounds not normally associated with the acoustic guitar, he actually invents techniques and will use anything to get his music onto his instrument the way he hears it.

... totally radical, his unique approach to his instrument is awe inspiring. His music is imbued with obvious passion for the instrument... exploring the cutting edge of endless possibility as if it were his home"

"A truly unique performer, possesses the ability to mesmerise an audience... a style all of his own ... a free form sound ... "

Pete Smith website
UK Clinician for Larrivee Guitars, 35 years playing experience as a session guitarist has made Pete Smith an extremely versatile and accomplished musician. Jazz, Blues, Folk, Ragtime and Bluegrass all get treated to his blistering technique and are used as playgrounds for his lightening improvisational skills...and he can be very funny too.

Every so often you hear someone play who reminds you of what the possibilities of an instrument can be,
Wayne Myers, Conniptions.

...competence, humor, and sheer musicality abound.
