He has performed twice at the Purcell Room of the Royal Festival Hall in London with soprano singer Soumaya Deeb, and was then invited to perform at the Auditorium Al Bustan in Beirut Lebanon in 2005 which proved to be a great success.

Renato Pavesi

Renato Pavesi was born in Budapest from an Italian father and a Hungarian mother and was raised there where he learnt privately from a handful of exceptional guitar maestros. In Hungary, he had several projects and had appeared in TV and radio shows and regularly was invited to play on festivals including one of Europe's largest music gathering the SZIGET Festival. He had travelled extensively and performed not only in European countries such as Sweden, Italy, Spain and France but in Iraq, Korea and Japan as well. In the UK he was performing in the St. James Theatre and The Rose Theatre in Kingston and on summer festivals like the Also Festival. His repertoire is based on many of his own compositions and of flamenco puro guitar pieces. He had been influenced by Paco de Lucia, Sabicas and also by Hungarian Gipsy music. He keeps alive the tradition of solo flamenco guitar recital commenced by Maestro Sabicas and aside of being a traditional player he reinvents and personalises the spirit of flamenco.  Currently Renato is studying music at Kingston University in London.

Stephen Yates

Stephen Yates is one of Britain's few composer/guitarists. Originally an award winning classical guitarist performing standard repertoire, his experience of arranging and composing for ensembles combined with his love for a wide variety of music from around the world inevitably led him to apply himself to music for solo guitar. His music is as eclectic as can be imagined, incorporating classical European as well as Asian, African, Irish and popular influences, but rather than pastiche, he combines these elements at their core to produce a style all his own. Virtuosic and yet lyrical, his music can be seen as belonging both to the classical world as well as to the contemporary.
