Ken Hinchley - Classical / Celtic Guitarist

He has performed on several other radio and TV programmes and at a huge number of concert, festival, wedding and other venues. An experienced teacher, he has published several books of his guitar arrangements and worked as arranger and musician with theatre companies.

As well as the standard Classical and Romantic repertoires, his range includes Mediaeval and Renaissance music, particularly the work of Dowland and other lute-composers of the 16th and 17th centuries. He is especially well-known for his arrangements of old Celtic harp music from the same period, and this older "minstrels' gallery" music has proved popular and effective as atmospheric background for weddings and other events.

Available throughout the UK, this guitarist is especially experienced at programming and improvising varied music to suit different parts of a wedding day – the bride’s arrival and departure and the service itself, the drinks reception (indoor or outdoor) and the wedding meal.  Here his versatility comes into its own, with modern styles including blues, bossa nova, ragtime, jazz standards and original compositions in a number of genres
