At the Llyn Guitar Festival i have always looked to give young players a stage to show their skills. I first saw Billy on Sky TV's Guitar Star and subsequently invited him on the Festival . He was very well received and afterwards i asked him to test my Vintage Viator Classical.selling around £150, i wanted to see what Billy did with it. He started with Tubular Bells and then other different pieces finishing with Cavatina. Hereis the result.

That boy sure can play. How do nylon strings work with that bridge?

Tie a big knot I guess, Graham. You can also get ball ended nylon strings, though there isn't a lot of choice.

I bet Tom Newman was delighted with the Tubular Bells interpretation, eh, guitbrett? Some lovely sounds coming out of that - clearly going to have to get a hat to take my playing up a notch (oh, and lose 40 years and 40 Lbs)

It would interesting to know what Paul does with the strings but I'm not sure he revisits his promotional posts.
