Overview

I have been playing and teaching the classical guitar for nearly 30 years. I am originally from South Africa and was founder of the Durban Classical Guitar Society in South Africa and have perfomed extensively in South Africa and the USA.

I provide mainly classical guitar music from early Renaissance, Baroque through to modern and contemporary music as well as vocals.

Here is some of my repertoire to play for a wedding. For the wedding processional - Mendelssohn's Wedding March - or Wagner's Bridal March - or Pachelbel's Canon in D. I am also an accomplished tenor and will sing songs for weddings and other events such as ; The Wedding Song(There is Love), Amazing Grace, Morning has broken,

Very talented!

Brian is a very talented musician and extremely professional. He was able to perform a specific song I requested for the processional at my outdoor wedding. My guests enjoyed the music selection.
