Great Review from Three Weeks

I'm very pleased to get this on Day 8 of the Edinburgh Fringe (I hope my pupils will agree that I actually AM an affable music teacher...)

"Not everyone would think to pair Bach and Bartok, Cole Porter and Celtic Hornpipe, least of all in a solo performance for acoustic guitar. When it comes to music, though, Prag is an unapologetic anthropologist, taking in a bewildering medley of cultures and influences. Deftly handling the complex arrangements, he renders Irish folk songs richly emotional, explores crisp classical movements and closes this intimate set with a fiery and frankly brilliant flamenco. If at times he comes across as an affable music teacher, he nevertheless plays with passionate precision, intensely expressive even during the most effusive flurries of notes. Like the composers he admires, Prag draws on deep traditions and diverse styles to make exquisite, intricate music."

A bit about how my Fringe Show is going

The Carlevaro guitar's revolutionary design means if appears to have no sound hole
The new venue is proving very good for the show and fascinated audience members cluster round at the end to see my guitars,ask questions and take photos.
