Nick and Debs review of Alan Green

Ideal for:

Classical guitarists will come into their own at formal events. If you're looking to entertain and impress clients at a drinks reception, a classical guitarist will provide an excellent talking point. Similarly, at wedding receptions, guitarists will be able to serenade you with your favourite tunes as you walk down the aisle.

When booking Guitarists (Classical):

Many people look to have their classical guitarists perform at outdoor events. While this is usually fine, it's always best to discuss arrangements with your musician in advance, in order to sort out a plan for bad weather etc. Classical guitarists can often play to smaller crowds un-amplified, but if your event is larger, you should make this clear to your musician in order for them to prepare an acoustic amplifier or small PA system.

Prices for Guitarists (Classical):

As they are solo musicians, quotes from classical guitar players will vary. Usually, they will charge a minimum of £150, but if you are looking to cut down on travel costs, use the "advanced search" to find classical guitarists near you.

About Classical guitarist's repertoire:

The bread and butter of most classical guitar players will be the great classical composers - Bach, Mozart, Pachabel and many others. They will also have a selection of traditional songs for weddings, such as the Wedding March and Bridal Chorus.

Many classical guitarists will also have a selection of pop hits and ballads, that they will have re-arranged for instrumental guitar. This could include the music of Elton John, Sting, The Beatles and many others. They might also be able to play some select pieces from film scores, theme songs or traditional music.

They will usually be happy to take some requests, especially when it comes to wedding ceremonies. However, rearranging any piece of music for solo guitar will take time, so any and all requests should be discussed with your musician as far in advance as you can.
