Tony McManus has come to be recognized throughout the world as the leading guitarist in Celtic Music. To find a unique voice on so ubiquitous an instrument as the acoustic guitar is quite an achievement: to do so within a centuries old idiom where the instrument has no real history is truly remarkable. In a relatively short time Tony's music has come to define a new role for the guitar in Celtic music. He has come to represent Celtic music in the guitar world. He has appeared at Guitar Festivals in Soave and Pescantina Italy; Frankston Australia; Issoudun France; Kirkmichael Scotland; Bath and Kent England; Bochum and Osnabruck Germany. His ability to reach audiences unfamiliar with traditional music is remarkable- he is quite comfortable at predominantly classical events such as the Dundee and Derry Guitar Festivals (appearing six times between the two) and even The Bogota International Guitar Festival where he followed virtuoso Eduardo Fernandez. In this DVD Tony talks about his influences and approach to guitar playing as well as performing a wide array of tunes from jigs to reels to pop and jazz classics.
