Mark is a Flamenco / World / Spanish / Latin Guitarist, who also enjoys the recording, production and composition of music. After studying Classical guitar from an early age, Mark turned his hand to the pop/rock scene, and played with a variety of outfits from rock to funk, in a variety of places from Cornwall to Australia and India. Having being inspired by a local Flamenco concert in 2000, Mark diversified into the exciting and dynamic world of Flamenco Guitar, studying with South West virtuoso Jon Salfield and top UK Flamenco teacher, Rafael. More recently, having been inspired by the likes of Strunz and Farah, Jesse Cook and Johannes Linstead, Mark's music has taken on a more "World Guitar Music" type direction.
