This is actually his second visit to the Festival he came with his fellow students from the Yehudi Menuhin School in a very memorable coffee concert. Since then he has already established himself as a bassist to watch! He plays music you may well recognise but you will be amazed at how versatile this huge instrument can be in such masterful hands.
