About Me

Now available to download from:

Guild Guitars endorsee & Guitarist Magazine columnist

Tristan Seume is one of the UK's finest young fingerstyle guitarists. Delighting audiences up and down the UK with his blend of folk, country, Celtic and neo-classical styles, and with his cheerful stage presence, he has been likened to players such as John Renbourn and Gordon Giltrap

His new CD, You Just Know is available now, from www.guitarcds.net, by clicking here . A beautiful collection of Celtic arrangements, pastoral melodies and country pickin' toons, the CD is a guitar music lover's delight.

A respected guitar tutor, he has taught at the Academy of Contemporary Music (ACM), Brighton Institute of Modern Music (BIMM) and each summer at the Bath International Guitar Festival. He is also the UK's demonstrator for Guild Guitars, and is the acoustic guitar techniques columnist for Guitarist Magazine

Tristan is also a sought-after session musician and plays guitar and hammered dulcimer for the baroness of nu-folk, Lisa Knapp in her live band.

Ha ha ha!

I was highly amused to find myself listed in the Dartington College of Arts 2007 prospectus under "S" in their "A to Z of past students". This is the college that awarded me a big fat Desmond for my m...
