What we’re about
We're a group of guitarists and luthiers, professionals as well as amateurs, of all ages and levels, who enjoy getting together, playing for one another informally, meeting for open mics and occasionally going to concerts together. We welcome acoustic guitarists who play any music in fingerpicking style.

He has made radio recordings in Germany (MDR and WDR), Italy (RT), Poland (PR2), Japan (NHK), France and Spain.
