Antonio Forcione Touch Wood reviewed in Metro Paper

Posted by: Stuart Frazer on 02 September 2003

“Guitarist Antonio Forcione’s lovely album has a strong Mediterranean theme, with an elegant tango suite, a gorgeous folky ronde entitled Tarantella, and an Alhambra rich with dramatic variations and consoling cadences. Forcione plays as part of a quartet, but its form – two guitarists, a cellist and a percussionist – makes for a sound that’s simple but rich, the musical equivalent of minimalist décor. This allows for the delicate fretwork of For Vic and the soothing ripples of the aptly named Nostalgia. This isn’t great innovation, but is lovely nonetheless.” Nina Caplan

A nice review, but easily the funnist was for Dido's single, true though.

Is that one they keep playing about not sinking with the ship her new one? They all sound the bloody same.

Uncle Bob does it again

Bob Harris played 'Alhambra' from 'Ghetto Paradise' on last Saturday's show.

Nice to hear Antonio getting some airplay on the wireless.
