THERE cannot be many guitarists around like Ray Mytton.
Worcester Arts Workshop was treated to an evening of him displaying a rendition of material from Renaissance to present-day folk music including some of his own compositions.
He played a lute that was especially made for him and progressed to modern guitar as time went on, and in the second half was joined by a vocalist and double bass player.
Because Ray Mytton likes intimacy as much as his audience, the event was gentle and candle-lit. One of Vivaldi’s Lute Concertos was included in the first half and this was as personal as personal can be.
He talked in between numbers about the importance of each piece including its cultural significance.
He is somebody to look out for on YouTube.
