SUMMARY:The Flamenco Thief and Reinis Jaunais - E129
DESCRIPTION:GI Music Lounge\nCraig Sutton\, the Flamenco Thief\, plays Spanish acoustic guitar with a loop pedal to blend modern rhythms with time-honored Flamenco techniques. Western\, Eastern and African rhythms have allowed him to connect and build long lasting friendships with people all over the world. He has entertained crowds in Turkish parks\, German kitchens\, Serbian street festivals\, Dutch hospitals\, French chapels and so many more wonderfully unique locations. \nWild sounds of a tongue drum\, Latvian traditional harp ‘kokle’\, modular synths and mad live looping alongside exceptional guitar skills – that is how you would describe the music of Reinis Jaunais\, a well travelled musician from Riga\, Latvia. The musician recently released his 10th music album ‘Nest’ that got nominated for all major album awards in Latvia and is well reviewed by music journalists worldwide. \nThe duo will take listeners to a world trip that is often described as ‘acoustic rave’ by listeners. \nTheir last performance at the GI Music Lounge was a sell-out – be sure to book your tickets to avoid disappointment!  \n \nDoors/licensed bar open 7pm \nMusic 7.30pm (with interval) \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThis event is sponsored by Andertons Music Co. \nOur GI Music Lounge events are held as fundraising events for The Guildford Institute.
