Morgan Szymanski

What a cracking name. Forename Welsh, surname Polish, and the man himself is Mexican. He also plays one mean guitar. We heard some Giuliani, Albeniz, Tarrega and Piazzolla. The last I had only heard played on a bandoneon which I found painful in the extreme, but young Mr Szymanski quite converted me.

I find it interesting that while the performance itself was not as flawless as you might find on a recording, the the very occasional, microscopically small imperfections added to the huge excitement of the live performance.

He is also a lot more handsome than his picture . . .
