Pete Smith returned - with Paul Martin
We welcomed back an extremely versatile and accomplished musician Pete Smith plays jazz, blues, folk, ragtime, calypso, baroque and bluegrass and is the official rep for Larivee Guitars. Pete was accompanied by Paul Martin.
Rated as one of the UK`s finest guitarists he has gained a national reputation not only as a phenomenal player but also as a teacher and story teller.
Regularly receiving standing ovations at top international Jazz, Blues and Folk Festivals, few musicians appeal to such a wide audience which is testament not only to his outstanding musicianship but also for being genuinely entertaining.
Having rediscovered his love of the acoustic guitar in 1999, he has since gained international recognition for his unique arrangements and dazzling playing and in 2005 was hand picked by Bob Taylor to represent Taylor Guitars in the UK.
In 2008 Pete became UK Clinician for Larrivee Guitars (USA) and regularly performs throughout the UK, Europe and USA.
