GUITARIST and composer Richard Durrant will cycle between each concert on his three-week tour, covering up to 1,500 miles as he travels from St Magnus Cathedral, Orkney, to the Brighton and Bexhill Festival in Sussex. Among the stops will be Pickering Memorial Hall, Potter Hill, Pickering, on June 10.

Durrant will play British folk music, Durrant originals and music by JS Bach each night on a tour designed to launch Stringhenge, a double album inspired by the British landscape.

Instruments played at each gig were equally significant in the formation of this project. "I’m lucky to be playing what I believe to be the world’s most beautiful concert guitar," says Durrant. "It was made from 5,000-year-old English oak by the Lincolnshire luthier Gary Southwell and the instrument feels like a sacred object. You will also hear my four-string tenor guitar, the Uffington Tenor by Ian Chisholm, and a ukulele set aside purely for the music of JS Bach."

Tickets for Durrant's 7.30pm concert cost £14, £12 or £5 from richarddurrant.com or in person from Television House, Market Place, Pickering.
