ISLWYN Guitar Club welcome a "Wizard from Oz" tonight (Friday April 20) for a concert in Cross Keys.

The club say Australian Roland Chadwick is one of the most talented and entertaining guitarists you are ever likely to meet.

Chadwick is a composer, guitarist and internationally acclaimed recording artist.

A trained classical guitarist, he made his Sydney Opera House debut in 1988 and has since built a reputation as Australia's master guitarist/composer. From 1979 to 1996 he lived and worked in Sydney as a performer and composer.

At the end of 1997 he moved to the UK and is now based in west London.

Recent projects include Native Tongue - a new blues album with the legendary Barriemore Barlow of Jethro Tull on drums and Phil Saatchi on Bass.

In his solo shows he plays a lot of steel string music, dobro, Spanish guitar and mandolin.

Doors for the performance at the Cross Keys Hotel open at 7pm for a guitar workshop followed by an open mic session and concert from 8pm.

Tickets cost just £5.00 (with concessions £4) inclusive of concert and workshop.
