I may have posted this up before....still, worthy of another airing.

Plenty of bargains to be had.
Had a great evening recently watching a guy called Richard Durrant deliver a concert of (mostly) Paraguayan classical guitar, e.g. Barrios. Sounds a bit dry, eh? Totally unstuffy and highly recommended...you can't beat a solo acoustic gig for intimacy...find one and go!
n.b. also saw Clive Carroll a couple of weeks ago...incredible stuff...he keeps getting better ;-)
+1 I saw John Williams in concert once and he played a lot of Barrios. There is an album called The Great Paraguayan by John Williams which is just brilliant.. like you say, its unstuffy, really refreshing compositions.
oh yes, these 2 rule
I have a CD of John Williams and the late Julian Bream playing duets; wonderful stuff. Also take a listen to Bream playing baroque pieces. I don't want to sound pretentious but classical guitar needs a different approach to listening to it-the more attention you pay to it, the more rewarding it is.

Holy Fret Runs Batman......That was chuffing Brilliant! , I'd love to get my teeth into learning something like that, it would be great to sit outside on a summers evening with my wife beside me and play something like that to her. I might get a nylon string guitar and try and learn some Spanish type stuff this year.
I doubt, therefore I might be!
Not really classical, more flamenco, but both excellent musicians, and play with passion and are a joy to watch and listen to.
Oh, and yes, she's hot
