Alex Seel & Jon Sanders Duo
Newport Folk Club, Newport Fugitives Athletic Club, High Cross Road, Newport NP10 9AE
“...Make no mistake, the audience raves about the sheer scope of musical interplay and different genres... Sanders with his jazz @nged Irish, Arabesque and world music solos, brought the sonorous experience of composi@ons from the Bri@sh song-writer’s new album with almost unbelievable changes in tempo, accompanied masterfully by Seel’s impressive guitar... The audience loved Seel’s folk, pop and blues influenced songs and duos with Sanders” - RheinZeit, Germany
Jon Sanders is recognised as a virtuoso bouzouki player, tenor ukulele player, drop D and DADGAD guitarist and an interna@onally acclaimed composer. His composi@on draws on elements of jazz, gypsy, funk, arabic, la@no and Cel@c styles, somewhat reminiscent of Sylvain Luc, Pierre Bensusan, Antonio Forcione and James Hill yet instantly different.
Alex & Jon met in Ireland and have found an exhilarating and dynamic combination of songs & instrumentals captivating audiences.
