When no less an authority than Bert Jansch claims that a guitarist
reminds him of "myself and John Renbourn fused together" you
tend to sit up and take notice. He’s not wrong either; Colin Reid is
a name to add to the illustrious tradition of British and Irish
fingerstyle players that includes Davy Graham and Dick Gaughan alongside the former Pentanglists.
His ability is simply outstanding, whether he’s letting casual shafts
of harmonics shine through a tune like Clear Blue Light or tackling
the knuckle-knotting technical demands of a piece like Marcel Dadis
Bluefinger with a playful whimsicality that betrays hours of dedicated
practice. Think of a one man Penguin Café Orchestra and you’re
almost there.
Having taken a sabbatical from playing live to concentrate on
his ’Dear Spider’ project, Out to Lunch is delighted to welcome Colin
back to the live arena in what promises to be a very special lunchtime
experience.
“Both as performer and composer, he is a huge talent."
