Following a successful debut in the Wigmore Hall in 1969 he was invited to work with the London Sinfonietta and Pierre Boulez, Luciano Berio, the Nash Ensemble, the BBC Symphony Orchestra as well as many others. In 1980 he left the Omega Guitar Quartet, a group he formed in 1972, to pursue his flourishing solo career. His concerts are greeted with much acclaim for their high artistry and musical energy.
