SUMMARY:Lights Out Events - Claude Bourbon
DESCRIPTION:Born in France in the early 60’s\, Claude grew up in Switzerland\, where he was classically trained. This finger picking guitarist takes you on a captivating musical journey that defies borders and genres. With roots in classical guitar\, his music flows effortlessly through the blues of the Mississippi Delta\, the warmth of the Balearic Islands\, the rich traditions of the Balkans\, and back again. His style blends Spanish blues with Gypsy rhythms\, Eastern European melodies\, and touches of flamenco inspired by Paco de Lucía. Influences from Ritchie Blackmore\, Joaquín Rodrigo\, JJ Cale and even J.S. Bach can be heard in his rich\, intricate playing. \n  \nWith flawless timing and astonishing technique\, Claude does things on six strings most guitarists only dream of. Experience a unique fusion of blues\, jazz\, folk\, classical\, and Spanish guitar—all brought together in one unforgettable performance.

SUMMARY:Shrewsbury Songwriters April 2025
DESCRIPTION:Free monthly socials for music writers of all levels and stages\, where they can meet up\, discuss different approaches to writing and perform new songs in a safe space with other music writers. As an optional aspect\, a brief to write to is given every two months. It is totally your choice whether you do this or not and we welcome any other songs you have written that are not done to the brief. The idea of this is to give an opportunity to push yourself into different areas\, topics and musical approaches that you may not have written about before. With a different focus area for the subject and the music sides of things\, you can really dive in and use the briefs as opportunities to experiment. These meet-ups really are completely open-to-all\, meaning that if you haven’t started writing songs or tunes yet but think you might like to try then please come along. There is no commitment necessary and you can just sit and listen if you want – you will be made very welcome! If you would like to learn more then you can either join our Facebook group (Shrewsbury Songwriters) or drop me an email on my Contact page.
