Classical Journey Tuesday 23 November

Luthier Shaun Newman
working in his Crediton workshop

This will be the last 'Journey' for November.  We have a very special guest to finish off the month in style.
Shaun Newman has been making master classical guitars for many years now in his workshop in Crediton.  David Cottam, the local guitar virtuoso from Sandford owns not one, but three of Shaun's amazing guitars.
Shaun will be in the studio from about 11am tomorrow morning to tell us about his amazing craft, and how he became a master guitar maker (or 'luthier', I should say).




Sadly a hand injury will prevent Shaun from playing one of his guitars in the studio, but he will be bringing in some recordings of his playing.  Shaun's skill as a guitar player, needless to say, is equal to his skill as a guitar maker.  Just to close the circle Shaun's recordings will include compositions by the wonderful David Cottam.
I'm not sure which we will hear, but Shaun has suggested quite a selection.  Traditional music from Spane, Russia, England, Japan, classical Spanish: Sor, Carulli, Tarrega, Carcassi - and lots of new names too, from the modern repertoire.

Before setting out on a journey through the classical guitar repertoire with Shaun, we shall have time between 10 and 11am tomorrow for a 'mini-classical journey'
