Gus Roberts - Classical Guitarist
This classical guitarist is based in Suffolk and is available for recitals, weddings and functions.

As part of a duo he plays a regular recital programme including lunchtime recitals at the Ipswich Art Festival (2006), Long Melford Church recital series, Ofton Church 'Magical Musical Moments' (evening recital that raised over £1000 pounds for local charity), Ipswich Methodist church evening recital, numerous private functions including a Cambridge college dinner, a major Art exhibition private view in Newmarket, and other special occasions and business recognition events.
