Off The Beaten Tracks mix 12 June

I've been listening to some classical guitar music from the likes of Alexandra Whittingham and Chris Newman. Chris' album Breaking Bach (Flatpicking the Partitas) was a lockdown project. He plays acoustic guitar with a plectrum rather than Spanish guitar which gives his music quite a different feel to your usual classical guitar approach. 

There are also three tracks which feature double bass player Danny Thompson including one of the Nick Drake songs he played on. 

Listen now on Mixcloud 

Alexandra Whittingham - La Foule (Arr. Dyens For Guitar)
Chris Newman - Bach Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major
Didi Bergman - Dragonfly
Dominie Hooper - Fuel
Michael Chapman - Sometimes You Just Drive
Rab Noakes - Slippin' Away
Battlefield Band - Lovers and Friends
Hannah James & Toby Kohn - Too Far for You to See
John Martyn w/ Danny Thompson - Sweet Little Mystery
Nick Drake - Three Hours
Sarah McQuaid - In Derby Cathedral
Smith & McClennan - Wait For Me
Eric Bibb, Danny Thompson & North Country Far - Blueberry Boy
Rob Heron & The Tea Pad Orchestra - I'm Feelin' Blue
