 l plucking\, all strumming\, all clicking\, tapping\, slapping virtuoso of
  world jazz – and comes highly recommended.”\n\n**** The List\n\n“A
  one-off musical sensation. Unmissable” The Scotsman\n\n“Few acoustic
  guitarists can match Antonio Forcione for sheer instrumental virtuosity b
 ut fewer still come close to him as a composer” Jazzwise Magazine\n\n
 “Antonio Forcione produced a masterful performance as he playfully demon
 strated his exceptional compositional and guitar skills with an ever prese
 nt smile to another sold out devoted audience. Tonight he was joined by fe
 llow fret master\, Giorgio Serci\, as their joint fingers flew\, at times 
 ferociously and with tenderness\, across their fretboards.” Paul Davies
