David Lawrence - Flamenco Guitarist
This highly versatile and experienced Warwickshire flamenco guitarist performs a program of flamenco, classical, Latin jazz and contemporary pop instrumental music chosen to entertain as background music or as feature at your event.
He originally studied classical guitar but went on to train in the flamenco capital of Spain, Jerez de la Frontera.
Since making his London South Bank (Purcell Room) debut, David has gone on to tour throughout the UK and continues to make a name for himself as a performer, composer and arranger of guitar music.
He can perform as a soloist but his live set works especially well with cajon (hand percussion) accompaniment. This combination always draws appreciative comments from guests and clients alike.
David also performs with two very talented twin sister flamenco dancers and he has extensive experience in this area having played for some of the best performers in UK and Spain.
Although he is not a vocalist, David does perform with an excellent pop/rock singer as a vocals and guitar duo - providing your favourite songs as entertainment for all social occasions.
"David Lawrence is a remarkably accomplished guitarist, and with the help of his percussion section, he takes us on a journey through the occasions and emotions of Southern Spain" Andy Wright, Birmingham Artsfest
"But that's only the beginning for an evening in which sounds leap continents while a capacity audience in Warwick Arts Studio looks on entranced. With talent around like this, we're truly regionally blessed." Peter Walters, Leamington Courier 2015
"El guitarrista (David) tiene un buen sonido..." Felix Grande – Award winning Spanish poet and writer of Paco de Lucia’s album notes.

David Lawrence - Flamenco Guitarist Feedback
“David performed a flawless set, much to the crowd's approval! His mix of Spanish classical songs were also a perfect accompaniment to the ceremony and the bride's walk down the isle. Thank you for your efforts David - and for being a part of our day.

“You guys were incredible!! How can I thank you enough. Everyone loved it so much. You got the tone just right both before and post ceremony- and we loved having you there!

“You really were the perfect accompaniment to our summers day drinks and canapes. The music was a calming backdrop to an otherwise frantic day and really helped to set the relaxed mood of our wedding day. I would recommend you to any friends or family.
