Join classically trained fingerstyle guitarist, Gus Glynn as he traces the development of the music we love today from its roots in traditional folk and blues, right through to contemporary classics and all-time favourites.

Visit modern favourites from artists such as Amy Winehouse and Arctic Monkeys all with a selection of pit stops along the way as Gus showcases his own songs. A music lover's must, complete with original fingerstyle guitar arrangements of John Lennon and Turlough O'Carolan, 'Routes to Classics' is not to be missed.
Gus Glynn is a singer songwriter and classically trained fingerstyle guitarist originally from Galway on the west coast of Ireland now settled in Cheshire for close on twenty years. His ever widening repertoire includes traditional Folk and Blues, Original Songs, Fingerstyle Guitar Arrangements and Contemporary Acoustic Classics from the likes of Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, John Lennon, Christy Moore, Leonard Cohen, Carole King, Mark Knopfler, and many, many more. Having played, taught and written music in many genres for three decades Gus has a wealth of experience and understanding of contemporary songs and song-writing and the roots of traditional folk and blues. A seasoned performer, Gus loves to play live, meet fellow music lovers, and really engage with an audience to make every show a lasting memory for all the right reasons.
Gus Glynn is an excellent guitarist/singer who works out beautiful arrangements to support an equally effective vocal. Never overbearing and always aware of space on the canvas: Vital for the higher levels - M. G. Stephenson x
