A GUITARIST regarded as a master of the Spanish guitar will be performing at Ashburton Arts Centre on April 29 as part of the 2024 Tinners Moon Festival.
Iago Banet is a virtuoso Spanish guitarist based in the UK and is currently touring his third album to impressive audiences and rave reviews.
He is building a significant and loyal following through his live performances, as well as his new album, Tres.
Iago was born in Galicia in the north-west of Spain. As a teenager, he found a classical guitar at home and set about learning to master it.
From that moment, there was no going back: guitar became his passion, his obsession and his future.
Iago’s technique and approach to performance have captivated crowds across the UK and Spain. He is a one-man-band on acoustic guitar not to be missed.
Since 2018, Banet has been building an impressive career as a solo fingerstyle acoustic guitarist, displaying his exceptional abilities and receiving rave reviews along the way.
He has performed with artists, including Josh Smith (Joe Bonamassa), Mark Flanagan (Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra), Jack Broadbent and Clive Carroll, amongst others.
Iago has performed on regional BBC shows across the UK over the past year, alongside BBC Radio 3's In Tune twice, and we has been played on The Blues Show with Cerys Matthews.
