Look out for solo concerts in the near future and a tour with Tommy Emmanuel in the new year - now that's something you can't afford to miss! There's the energetic and quirky Adventures of Wilfred, and a beautiful ballad in Lady of the Valley, just two examples of Clive's virtuosic approach from the album's hoard of treasure. There's some amazing virtuosity here, too take the track A Winter Carol where he plays two entirely different tunes at once on the same fretboard - and that's just for starters. It would be different to pin any particular style on Mr Carroll as some tracks have a slight touch of bluesiness to them, whereas others veer more to the classical side of the music spectrum. If you've read our interview with Clive in this issue (see p56) then you'll already be aware of some of the features on the new album - the fact that classical superstar John Williams guests on the album's centrepiece, A Renaissance Suite, for instance. This is Clive Carroll's first album release since 2009's Life in Colour and details the instrumental fingerstylist's compositional trail since that time.
