Nigel began playing the guitar at the age of 4 after being ‘captivated’ by the sounds of the classical guitar. His first teach, David Bowler, was a student of Len Williams. Nigel attended many live classical guitar performance during the 70’s and met many of the top players who were touring Europe at this time, including the great Andres Segovia in 1978.
Nigel emigrated to Australia with his parents in 1980 and took formal studies in music at ‘ The Australian Institute of Music’ in Sydney. Now at the age of 34, Nigel has been playing guitar for 30 years and has studied with some of Australia’s top teachers. In 2003 he won a scholarship to study notable German guitarist Horsti Baltes at the Woolongong Conservatorium of Music.
Nigel’s current repertoire includes music by Scarlatti, Cimarosa, Bach, Giuliani, Albeniz, Villa-Lobos, Barrios, Garato, and Baden-Powell.
Nigel will be playing in England and France as part of his European Tour.
