Spanish guitar for weddings, functions and events - Bristol based
Educated to Masters level at Goldsmiths College, London and with 20 years of performance experience, Chris Harper is effortlessly comfortable when providing atmospheric entertainment and his extensive knowledge of a varied repertoire (which ranges from traditional European classical guitar to foot tapping flamenco trickery and also sensual classical pieces with a South American edge and classic rock and pop songs arranged for solo guitar) means he is more than capable of adapting his set to meet the requirements of any event.

He is also happy to perform un-amplified, indoors or out. Chris is now available in the South West, South East, the Midlands and Wales, he is always very well presented, polite and punctual. He is also happy to learn pieces on request with due notice.
