Reigate and Redhill Festival Results
The Hawthorns took over the Reigate and Redhill Festival last weekend. We had over 100 entries from 50 guitarists and eight other musicians. We performed to large audiences in St Matthew’s Church on both days. Most students performed a solo and a number of ensemble pieces ranging from duets to guitar orchestras. The talented musicians performed confidently and worked hard for their audience.
The adjudicator was Gary Ryan, an international concert guitarist and professor from The Royal College of Music. He did an excellent job and was clearly impressed by the musicians, giving them praise and valuable advice. An enjoyable and inspiring day was had by all.
Gary will be back at St Matthew’s on Saturday 22nd May to run a guitar workshop, please contact me if you would like to be involved.
