Byron Johnstone
Solo acoustic guitar playing featuring specially arranged pop hits, well known classical tunes and lively displays of flamenco
Byron’s repertoire of up to date and specially arranged pop favourites alongside interpretations of flamenco, classical and original music make him a refreshing choice at weddings, private functions or business events, he can add that finishing touch to special occasions, or provide background music as guests dine or enjoy drinks and mark a bespoke occasion with music from a professional guitarist who has performed for many, from national media occasions to audiences at The Royal Albert Hall.
Byron Johnston is gaining increasing acclaim for his unique brand of flamenco fusion and highly original artistic approach to guitar performance. He is rapidly becoming a rising star of the acoustic guitar in the UK music scene following the release of his debut album ‘Oceano’ which fuses elements of contemporary, world and flamenco guitar music and has been a featured release on itunes.
Byron started playing guitar when he was eight, his passion and love of music seeps from every pore. Having studied at the Academy of Contemporary Music, he has had the benefit of being taught and influenced by some of the world’s leading acoustic guitarists of our time.
Byron performed as a soloist at the Royal Albert Hall in the summer of 2006, which coincided with the release of his debut album ‘Oceano’. The accompanying live DVD gives a visual illustration of Byron’s unique playing style and shows just how he forms a direct connection with the hearts and minds of the audience.
A superb technician and a charismatic presence, Byron’s individual style and affable nature make him a wonderful addition to events when a delicate and sophisticated accompaniment is needed to create a relaxing setting.
For more boisterous crowds, Byron incorporates looping layers of guitar and drums developing a musical tapestry before his audience, delivering the sound of an ensemble as solo artist. It’s an impressive act that needs to be seen. This ground breaking use of modern guitar techniques, makes for magical and almost unbelievable entertainment. In performance Byron delivers many of the most technical aspects of the guitar having pioneered his own style of performance designed to give an audience much more than they expect.
“Both Richard and I really appreciate that you turned up on time, set up without any fuss and then played the most wonderful music. It was just beautiful and we could have listened to it all evening. It really did set the tone of the event - so thank you a thousand times. We have received so many thank you cards for the event and they have all mentioned the music that you played”

Jonathan Preiss
Romantic Guitar
A tremendously versatile guitarist and composer, Jonathan Preiss is equally at home performing music from the classical guitar repertoire, playing Brazilian music, jazz, avant-garde chamber music or baroque concertos.
As soloist and as an ensemble guitarist Jonathan has performed at venues throughout the UK, including St Martin-in-the-Fields, St James' Piccadilly, the Barbican Centre, Cheltenham Town Hall and Oxford's Holywell Music Room. Festival performances have included Bath International Guitar Festival (1997, 1998, 1999), Ludlow Festival (1998), Hebden Bridge Festival (1998, 1999), Edinburgh Festival Fringe (1998) and the Cheltenham Festival of Literature (2000).
In addition to the groups and ensembles of which he is a regular member, Jonathan has also performed with, amongst others, saxophonist Rob Hall, sitarist Dharambir Singh, music-theatre company the Clod Ensemble, baroque orchestra the Georgian Camerata and British Youth Opera.
Jonathan is also active as a guitar teacher, working for the Da Capo Music School and Lambeth College in London, and for Hertfordshire Music Service at Watford School of Music.
His teaching activities have also included leading workshops, conducting ensembles and composing numerous pieces for the student repertoire, and in 2001 he was a member of the teaching staff of the Bath International Guitar Festival.
Jonathan Preiss is a graduate of the City of Leeds College of Music (GCLCM - Jazz, Contemporary and Popular Music) and of Trinity College of Music (University of London MMus - Performance and Related Studies).
Having studied the piano from an early age, and later both classical and electric guitar, he began his undergraduate studies at Leeds as an electric guitarist. Influenced strongly by guitarists Ralph Towner and Egberto Gismonti, he became fascinated by the possibility of using the classical instrument and its technique for playing improvised music and elected to transfer to study classical guitar. For the remainder of the diploma course he studied under the College's classical guitar professor Dr Graham Wade, the Segovia scholar and biographer of Rodrigo. While at Leeds Jonathan also studied North Indian classical music for a time with highly respected sitarist Dharambir Singh. He graduated in 1993 with prizes for guitar performance and composition, and was awarded the Ricordi prize for musicianship in 1992 and 1993.
Having studied the classical guitar in the context of a jazz diploma course, he now felt the need to spend some further time specializing in classical repertoire, and decided to move to London in order to study at Trinity College of Music with guitarist and composer Gilbert Biberian. Biberian's own music frequently combines a rigorous classical approach with Turkish and other Middle Eastern traditional influences, and was a source of much inspiration in attempting to comprehend a varied musical background.
In 1994 Jonathan graduated from Trinity with the University of London's Masters' Degree and was also awarded that year's chamber music prize. While a student Jonathan also took part in master classes with John Mills, Benjamin Verdery and Paulo Bellinati, and in 1992 he attended the Cordoba Festival, where he studied with Cuban composer and guitarist Leo Brouwer.
