Interested? then please get in touch. Contact details are on the blog.
Look forward to hearing from you. Lance

Joscho StephanTrio
The Joscho Stephan Trio is giving a concert at South Shields Customs House on Saturday 21 February. The publicity reads: "Following his spectacular performance at The Customs House with Tommy Emmanuel two years ago, the Joscho Stephan trio returns to show why he is without doubt the finest Gypsy Jazz style guitarist in the World."
"Joscho Stephan represents the future of gypsy jazz guitar!" (Acoustic Guitar Magazine)
I decided to check him out on YouTube. To judge for yourself Click here.

Amazing Lance, had never heard of him... Where has he been all my life?
Neither had I until today!
Hi Lance
I've been aware of Stephan for a while (he's played in the north east twice in recent years).I think he's the ''real deal''.
