The legendary ANTONIO FORCIONE up close and personal

As a reviewer, so expressively phrased it!

He has the ‘hands of a tarantula and the heart of a lion'.

We are very happy to be able to host Antonio Forcione for a second time this year!

And as one critic put it “Imagine an Italian hybrid of Michael Hedges, John McLaughlin and Django Reinhardt ... ferocious, rampaging, controlled power, meticulous precision and clarity of expression ... astonishing musical personality”

And as the first deep, warm, intense notes float through the audience, you can hear a pin drop and feel the sonic spell of his guitar weaving through the room.

More about Antonio....

Antonio’s numerous awards line the shelf above the piano in his west London home, a far cry from his humble beginnings in a small village in southern Italy from where he worked his way through art school, eventually performing on the streets of London to win the Covent Garden Street Entertainer of the Year Award.

This led straight to a BBC TV appearance and a European tour. He hasn’t looked back since, nor has he ever forgotten his roots.

If you listen closely to his compositions you can feel the nostalgia for the village, the olive groves, the dusty streets and the first loves of a young boy.

Previous albums include collaborations with fellow performers such as Charlie Haden, Trilok Gurtu, Kay Eckhardt, Sabina Sciubba, Claudio Roditi, Rossana Casale...

Our musicians receive the ticket money - we only generate revenue from food and drink therefore - when neck we reserve the right, to implement a min spend on food/drink of £25 per person, for the upkeep of the venue and to maintain quality acts that can be seen close up in an intimate and authentic atmosphere.
