Appearing in Devizes’ most exciting new arts space, St Mary’s Church, the UK’s finest virtuoso guitarist is on a huge UK tour which will see the town rubbing shoulders with some of the UK’s biggest cities, best venues and hottest music scenes – straight after a 12-date German tour.

Jon’s performance has been dubbed virtuoso because of his poly-rhythmic finger tapping and plucking style, which has left guitarists of all ages and abilities amazed with his unique technique and approach. Having Jon perform in such a vast, yet intimate space will really show off his style, and he will be as entertaining to watch as he will be to listen to.

His performance for Devizes Festival a few years ago continued its strong tradition of dealing with the best musicians the UK has to offer. Jon also performed with Newton Faulkner in Avebury in 2014.

Last year was a strong time for Jon’s development as an artist. He began to conduct workshops with schools across the country, including a residency on the Isle of Man, where Jon toured with Chris T-T, leading workshops and helping young musicians write songs before performing each evening with them.

Jon is a product of modern mass media and his Youtube channel is testament to that. It’s where he regularly releases new material, sharing it through his social networks, and each new video rarely receiving less than 100,000 views. His biggest hit to date, Passionflower, is due to steam through the 8,000,000 view mark very soon.
