Atom Live Masterclass Tour

Amazing and impossibly talented Rodney Branigan has teamed up with the Access To Music and their unique Atom Live enrichment programme to provide master-classes for students.

"Rodney Branigan is one of the most amazing artists you will ever see. Not simply because he's unique, but rather because he's impossibly talented."

Like the first person who transformed his Italian violin into an Irish fiddle, Rodney Branigan has redefined the role and limits of his instrument - the guitar. There is simply no way to adequately describe this performance with mere words. He can play two guitars at once better than most can play one! Strumming the body of a twelve-string, while picking the neck of a six-string, Rodney creates music by himself that sounds like it is coming from a trio. His right and left hand frequently seem to be disassociated from each other, performing rhythm and lead parts, independently. And on many occasions, one or both hands become percussionists, utilizing different parts of the guitar as drums.

Rodney will be visiting Access To Music Centres across the UK providing a unique master-class before a local gig in the evening supported by music students.
