AN internationally-acclaimed composer and guitarist has been booked to play in the county later this month.

Greek musician Pavlo will be appearing at Richmond Cricket Club on Friday, February 25.

Playing music that combines flamenco, Latin, classical and Mediterranean guitar with the Greek bouzouki, Pavlo will be supported by his band and special guest Ukrainian violin virtuoso Vasyl Popadiuk.

The event has been organised by Arts in Richmondshire.

Christel Kibbat, spokesman for the organisation, said: "This will be an evening of humorous repartee and virtuoso playing."

The concert starts at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £7.50 for adults and £5 for under-16s in advance, or £9 and £7.50 at the door.
