Bruce Paine - contact details
Here
are the contact details for Bruce Paine - close friend of our Musical Director, Derek Hasted, and
possibly holding the title of the world's most distant duet partner - those 25,000 mile round trips
for Derek and Bruce's rehearsals, once every five years sure are tiring...
Bruce brings a compelling mix of skill and expression to the guitar, and his big stature and big heart are matched in his playing with effortless technique and generous phrasing.
Following extensive study and Masterclasses in New Zealand and Australia, Bruce has already played with Philharmonic orchestras and performed on New Zealand's TV and radio stations. Having toured in Europe and the UK in 1998, he returned again in 2005, with a captivating concert programme that blended familiar and unfamilar works and wrapped them in his very special and expressive playing.
Bruce has recorded a number of CDs which can be ordered from the Bruce Paine official Website. Try before you buy, with his downloadable soundclips and hear for yourself his special sound.
UK visitors can order online from GuitarCDs here in the UK, meaning you'll get your copy of the CDs even faster!
And while you're visiting Bruce's site, check out the gorgeous photos of the scenery round his house in Auckland! Oh yes - and look up his pictures of Thomas Edward Paine and see how it ties in with the Privett photo on our site.
