Michael Miles: latest news

Our good friend Michael J. Miles of Chicago - the man who showed that Bach's music can be played perfectly on clawhammer banjo - will be playing in concert at Riverwoods, Illinois, on 26 May with members of the Chicago Arts Orchestra. His first guitar CD, A-sides, featuring instrumental settings of hit songs from the middle fifty years of the 20th century, will be out on 4 July. The all-star ensemble includes Darol Anger, one of America's finest violinists/fiddle players.
