Antonio Forcione

The Virtuoso: Antonio Forcione

Dubbed the ‘Jimi Hendrix of the Acoustic Guitar’ Antonio is one of the great guitarists and was awarded ‘Musician of the Year’ 2009 in Italy.

He reinterprets what he calls the soundtrack of his childhood.

Popular hits from Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder and mixes his own greatest hits as he dubs astonishing work such as Touchwood and Heartbeat.

Sprinkled with comedy narrative and a wonderful self-deprecating humour.

Antonio has recorded 16 albums and has opened for Phil Collins, Bobby McFerrin and Jools Holland, played privately for clients such as Paul McCartney and with world-class musicians Trilok Gurtu, Birelli Lagrene and Andy Sheppard.

Ticket prices £16
