Meet the man with 42 hands, Richard Durrant, known as The Guitar Whisperer.

His lunchtime concert in St Bartholomew's Church was an hour of pure delight. He is not only an extraordinarily versatile and talented guitar player - any kind of guitar, plus ukuleles and banjos - he is a great entertainer.

His laid back, friendly style immediately established a rapport with his sizeable audience; I'm sure the vicar would be happy to see all those seats filled again on Sunday.

The 42 hands? Not literally of course, but one of the highlights of his show was a performance of Steve Reichís Electric Counterpoint, written for 21 guitars, for which Durrant had pre-recorded himself playing 20, six-string, twelve-string, acoustic, electric, steel and bass guitars to mention a few, leaving the leading solo part to be played live.

A screen behind him had an apparently still sketch of a guitarist, which suddenly came to life into a quirky animation as Durrant played one of his own richly melodic compositions.

He is equally at home with classics, folk and pop. After introducing his exquisite new guitar, named after him by its maker Gary Hearn, he produced a banjo which he described as 'made in a tractor factory in Eastern Europe,' and proceeded to play Bach's Suite in G Major on it ñ "like Shakespeare meets Bagpuss," he said.

In his hands it sounded just as legitimate and enticing as the Scarlatti or Tchaikovsky or any of the specialist Spanish guitar composers, whose work he played.
