This act is a professional jazz guitar ensemble inspired by the likes of Sylvain Luc, Bireli Lagrene, Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin and Pat Metheny.
The band has been established in July 2009 by guitarists Maciek Pysz and Ryszard Graca. Both musicians, who share a passion for acoustic jazz music and intricate Latin rhythms, have decided to bring together their vast influences and offer a unique blend of jazz and world music. Their style appeals not only to jazz audiences and it has been described as 'an exquisite jazz sound with a touch of World rhythms'. They are in the process of recording their first album featuring jazz standards and original pieces which can be heard on www.myspace.com/londonguitarduo . They have been successfully performing a mix of standards and originals with an energy and enthusiasm that is hugely infectious. Some of the venues include Ronnie Scotts, Charlie Wright's, The Ritzy and Jazz After Dark.

"Just a quick note to say thank you, we could not of asked for more you made our wedding day, all of our guests thought you were excellent and 5 of them have already asked for your contact details they were so impressed (which we have passed on to them). You made our day really special and so different from many other weddings that we have been to. The balance and selection of music you played was excellent and suited the mood and the atmosphere of the day. Without being over the top we can't thank you enough for making a great day so special and personal.

Im sure this wont be the last you hear from Andy and I as we are trying to think of an excuse to have a big party and book you again.

With kindest regards and many thanks

Fantastic.........!!!!" Gilly & Andy
