Robin Nolan

Over the past 2 decades Robin Nolan has established himself as one of the worlds most respected gypsy jazz guitarists. Recent highlights include a sell-out show for Jazz FM at London's Royal Albert Hall, a standing ovation from a packed-out Lincoln Centre audience in New York, and a record deal with Dark Horse, the label set up by George Harrison.

 

Harrison was a fan and friend of Robin and even named him as one of his favourite guitarists.

Nolan's new album was recorded at Friar Park Studios using three of George’s famous Beatles guitars.

 

The Gibson J160E which has the distinction of being the only guitar used on every Beatles album, the Spanish Ramirez as famously heard on 'And I Love Her' and the 12 String Rickenbacker 360/12 used by George on the bulk of the 'A Hard Day’s Night' album.

 

This is the first time these guitars have been recorded since the 70's, an exciting prospect for all Beatles fans as well as lovers of the music of George Harrison and acoustic guitar.

With George Harrison, Hank Marvin and Bill Wyman as his fans, Willie Nelson said it best “You play a mighty fine guitar Robin Nolan”.

George Harrison “In these days of Cacophony it’s great to hear some proper music!”

Bill Wyman "Robin Nolan is so amazingly good!"

Mozes Rosenberg & Paulus Schäfer Quintet

Mozes and Paulus are considered royalty in the Gypsy Jazz world and with this quintet they recreate the original 5 piece line up of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli's famous Quintette du Hot Club de France of 3 guitars, violin and bass.

Mozes Rosenberg grew up around some of the greatest guitar players in the world, like many gypsies, he started playing at an early age, when he was 7, he first played live concerts with his older brother Stochelo's band; The Rosenberg Trio, by the time he was 13 he was working with Paco de Lucia. 

Growing up on the same camp in Holland, Paulus Schäfer is also one of a very small handful of musicians playing at this level. Recent highlights include a headline set at the Django Reinhardt Festival in Samois, France and a sell out at New York's Carnegie Hall.  

 

The line also includes Christian Van Hemert, one of the worlds leading jazz violinists, Chris Quinn, the UK based guitar virtuoso and leading session player on the international acoustic guitar scene...
