Iago Banet: Nothing Short of Phenomenal
show 8pm Described as ‘a master of the guitar’ by Sean Rafferty, BBC Radio 3 In Tune; as 'nothing short of phenomenal' in a recent review, and as a ‘highly recommended artist’ by Celtic Connections, Iago Banet creates stories without words, enthralling audiences as he does so. After starting his career in Galicia, he moved to London in 2014, where he played in various bands before focussing on his solo career. Influenced by figures such as Merle Travis, Chet Atkins and Tommy Emmanuel, he has released three solo albums, including “A Sunset Wine” (2019), “Iago Banet” (2022) and “TRES” (2023), and has carried out several highly successful tours throughout the UK; which have included multiple sell-out shows and a fantastic reception from audiences. Banet has built a reputation as a solo artist in what is known as ‘fingerstyle'; showcasing new levels of skill and complexity, and receiving outstanding reviews as he does so. He has appeared on BBC Radio 3 In Tune twice and has featured on BBC Radio 2's The Blues Show with Cerys Matthews. His versatility and immense talent is reflected in his fusing of styles, including fingerstyle, gypsy jazz, blues, rock, country, dixieland swing, Tex-Mex, pop and folk; and he has performed at renowned festivals and collaborated with multiple artists. He is a "one man band" on acoustic guitar not to be missed. ‘Fabulous’, Katie Derham, BBC Radio 3 ‘Highly recommended artist’, DKOS, Celtic Connections ✭✭✭✭ ‘Nothing short of phenomenal’, R'n'R Magazine ‘A lot of magic with just a guitar’, Conciertos de Radio 3, RTVE
