Scopwick audiences will be entertained with British folk music, classics from Richard Durrant and music by JS Bach.

Richard cites the British landscape as his main inspiration for this tour, and his accompanying album Stringhenge.

He said: “I’m lucky to be playing what I believe to be the world’s most beautiful concert guitar.

“It was made from 5,000 year old English Oak by the Lincolnshire Luthier Gary Southwell and the instrument feels like a sacred object.

“You will also hear my four string tenor guitar (the Uffington Tenor by Ian Chisholm) and a ukulele set aside purely for the music of JS Bach”.
