“There’s the top guitarists in the world, and then there’s Tommy!” Barry Gibb (Barry Gibb, Bee Gees)
Why he is placed in a totally different category makes sense once you catch yourself thinking: was he created for the guitar, or was the guitar created for him? The answer to why Tommy Emmanuel’s playing is called supernatural becomes crystal clear within minutes. The Grammy winner takes to the stage alone, yet the guitar in his hands becomes an entire orchestra in itself: melody, rhythm, bass and percussion fuse into one breath-taking experience.

The performer’s path has been nothing short of impressive: from tours throughout Australia in his early youth to the greatest stages around the world. He has played and created together with Eric Clapton, John Denver, Mark Knopfler, Joe Walsh and other music legends. At the Sydney Olympics, the guitarist appeared before an audience numbering in the billions. Inspired by his hero Chet Atkins, who later became his mentor and friend, Emmanuel created his own unique sound, one that transformed him into a global acoustic guitar icon.

However, the performer’s not one to boast about his achievements, referring to himself as the Indiana Jones of the guitar world: “I’m on this wild journey, just making it up as I go, and I’m thrilled that so many people are having fun joining along with me.”

You too can come along on this search for the treasures of guitar music. The pulse of rock, the depth of the blues, the freedom of jazz, world music sounds – which gem from the Living in The Light album is going to shine the brightest?

Programme features original music by Tommy Emmanuel
