This is Steve Homes an English guitarist. I think he's very good and very original.

See what you think.

Do you know him? He's phenomenal. I like his Iguana bulerias--quite a few elements from that song are in this seguiriyas, too.

I've just got Steve's new CD the Silk Road and I'm writing a little review of it for our website. I'll post the link when it's done.

I think Steve has found something original in his compositions. Unsure why this one is called Seguiriyas as most of it seems to be a bulerias!

That would be interesting to read Ailsa.

I suspect it's referring to the piece before, as they seem to be coming out of seguiriyas at the beginning of the video.
And yes, he's very good.

I remember being impressed by a clip that Bash (James) put up some time ago when he was studying with Steve Homes, which reminds me, where is Bash? Haven't seen him for ages.
