Leeds Gigs Review

Paul Rose is a craftsman, who produces masterpieces of guitarmanship, every time he plays. To try and describe the level of skill he possesses, would be as easy as spotting a dropped stitch in the Bayeaux tapestry. In sets which bridge the acoustic guitar, with the Classical John Williams, the Blues of Tommy Emmanuel and the Rock of Jimi Hendrix, he creates a guitar master class which transfixed the audiences at both the Fox & Newt and the Duck & Drake this weekend. A play-list which went from “Somewhere over the rainbow” to “All along the Watchtower” with a little snippet of the Benny Hill theme thrown in for good measure, and you had performances not just to be remembered, but to be savoured. Performance is variable, class is permanent, Paul Rose is CLASS-personified.
