Richard Gilewitz in Morecambe

Richard Gilewitz appeared at The Strathmore on Morecambe Promenade on Tuesday 22/09/15. The event was organised by Promenade Music and sponsored by D'Arrario. It was a show of two halves. In the first half Richard played his Schenk guitars (what looked like an auditirium sized six string and a slightly larger twelve). A really diverse set including his own compositions, classical, spanish, blues and Beatles. A small but appreciative audience enjoyed his great playing which varied from gently quiet tunes to strident strutting ones. The twelve string was very low-tuned and really growled out its sound. A truly fine player. The evening was enhanced by Richard's very funny chat between numbers. In the second half Richard ran a mini workshop and then played a Maestro guitar from Promenade Music and also a 6-string guitar/banjo and a uke, a versatile man! A super evening so thanks to Prom. Music and D'Addario for promoting the evening.
