In his celebration of Midsummer the maverick guitar virtuoso, composer and storyteller Richard Durrant performs his own guitar originals, choice moments from the acoustic/classical repertoire and Bach on the ukulele. This wonderful music is  played by an extraordinary musician carrying his entire show on a bicycle.

Richard, from Sussex  will be en-route from Wales and Devon to play at the Trinity Theatre,  all part of the musicians continuing British Isles pilgrimage which this summer will see him cycle this summer, over 650 miles between venues.

Richard Durrant studied at the Royal College of Music, but his unexpected musical choices and the sheer emotional depth of his playing set him apart. Connection with the land is central to his work including his last three acclaimed albums Stringhenge, Rewilding and The Sleep of a King. His tours and album releases are planned around the Solstices and Equinoxes.

Durrant’s bicycle stands next to him onstage at each concert, its lights illuminating the performance. His idea of cycling between venues was motivated by the effect on the environment of an average 35,000 carbon heavy miles playing concerts in the years leading up to his first Cycling Music tour in 2014.
