About Me

Wilber's instrumental music is a mixture of acoustic and electric guitar with occasional excursions into mandolin, appalachian dulcimer and banjo.

Wilber has performed at the Holywell Music Room in Oxford, Europe's oldest concert hall, in a fund raising event for the Oxford Folk Festival. This event was filmed & videos of Wilber's music are now available... (Thanks to Nick Cooper for the videos)
