The No. 26 Bus Reaches its Destination

And what a tour it was as Richard Durrant shared his love of Paraguayan music, in particular that of the great Mangoré with audiences in England, Wales and Scotland.

‘I reconnected with many special people including lots of friends from my rural touring days. Some of the venues also felt like old friends. The two new dates on the tour, Alnwick Playhouse and The Acorn Penzance, were magical. Thanks one and all for your support and hard work.‘

Says Richard

The Guitar in Paraguay

Saturday 26 October, 2pm to 6pm

There will be one last chance to experience some of the music from the tour and get to talk about Agustin Barrios with Richard in his studio.

Richard will perform highlights of the show and then lead a discussion. You do not need to be a guitarist to attend as all are welcome to come and visit Richard’s musical HQ. Limited numbers available.

There is a free ticket for the PluckPlankStudio event for the first person to explain what is going on in this photograph:
