WILL MCNICOL
Born in Scotland twenty years ago and now living in
the South of England, Will McNicol began his classical guitar training at
the age of seven
and currently holds two diplomas in classical guitar recital with Trinity College London.
He started composing five years ago and has since
developed a unique style of his own, combining acoustic tapping and
slapping techniques with the more conventional classical approach. He has
performed spell-binding sets supporting a variety of artists
from the folk legend Martin Simpson to the indie stylings of Kid Harpoon.
"This classically
trained guitarist treats his guitar the way a horny thirteen-year-old treats his body."
