The three day guitar section of the Chichester Festival has yet again had more entrants than ever before. The Solo Novice under 9 years class had an unprecedented 30 entries!

The adjudicators for the Festival represented 2/3 of the Segovia Guitar Trio. Vincent Lindsey-Clark judged the under 18s and Roland Gallery the seniors. Vincent is a prolific composer who has written a wide range of music from the Simply Guitar series for early players through to more demanding works. The examining boards use Vincent's music extensively and some of his pieces were played at the Festival. He recently conducted one of his works written for 90 guitars at the Royal Albert Hall.

Roland is currently Professor of Guitar at the Trinity College of Music and he also teaches gifted young children at the Purcell School of Music. Roland is a prolific arranger and has produced over 300 arrangements mostly for guitar ensembles. We were very fortunate in having such prestigious musicians to adjudicate for us.
