One of
the best acoustic guitarists around, and certainly one of the most
versatile, Sheffield-based Keith Hinchliffe received international
acclaim for his much-broadcast album Carolan's
Dream, and his second CD Islands
was described by Andy Kershaw as "an excellent album by a wonderful
guitar player."
Best
known for his haunting arrangements of Celtic music, Keith has more
recently
released Ancient Music,
a collection of Renaissance, Baroque and early Irish pieces including
works by Dowland, Purcell and Bach.
A
highly-experienced solo performer in concerts, clubs, festivals, at
weddings
and corporate events, he is also a composer and arranger, the
author of several guitar music books, and a teacher
giving guitar lessons and
workshops at all levels. A former member of the Albion
Band, he plays and is a tutor in Celtic,
Classical, Blues, Jazz, Ragtime and other Contemporary music.
He has
also released Red Scarf
Smiler,
a much more eclectic CD of music including Elizabethan lute
works, blues, Latin American pieces and eight original compositions.
This
site includes samples from each CD, and you can listen to or download
two complete
CD-quality tracks. You will also find details of Keith's books of guitar arrangements.
