Hi, I'm Nigel Beck. A Leicestershire based 6 & 12 string fingerstyle acoustic guitar player. My main influences are Leo Kottke, Pierre Bensusan, Antonio Forcione and Eric Roche. I love the propulsive flowing nature of Leo kottke's playing and Pierre Bensusan's beautifully crafted music with its classical/jazz/celtic feel are a delight. Antonio Forcione and Eric Roche also inspire me with their imagination and flair for composition and style. These are but a few of the many players I admire and learn from. The last 12 months have seen me return to performing in acoustic clubs - in fact anywhere where they'll have me and I'm hoping this year to put myself on the acoustic map. My demo recordings are here for your pleasure, I hope you like them. The demo was done recently with the help of my friend John Ablitt who kindly donated his time,expertise & studio - many thanks John. A CD is in the pipeline but being a perfectionist takes time!!If you're ever at any of my performances please come & say hello.
