Hampshire Guitar Orchestra (HAGO) play all styles; Eternal Flame (performed by The Bangles, covered by Atomic Kitten) fits classical guitar like it was written for it...
Eternal Flame is one of our most frequently viewed videos, and there aren't many guitar concerts where we don't get a sigh from the audience at the end of this lovely piece.
In this arrangement of Eternal Flame, we play our 4 sizes of guitar - alto, prime, bass, and contra, to produce a sublime and deep sound and light accompaniment that's faithful to the original in its harmonies and countermelodies.
Turn the volume up, close your eyes and lose yourself in this wonderful and powerful melody and beautifully shaped song that is Eternal Flame. The lyrics are sublime and moving - check them out :-)
HAGO welcomes new guitarists at all intermediate and senior levels. Our repertoire is large, our audiences are massive and our enjoyment is ... well, come along and find out!

Composed by Steinberg, Kelly and Hoffs, this version of Eternal Flame was arranged for Hampshire Guitar Orchestra by HAGO's Musical Director, Derek Hasted - http://www.classical-guitar-lessons.co.uk/
This is a beautiful piece of work. But since I have heard of hago, all I have been thinking is, "I want that guitar, and that one, and that one".
QQ: Would it be acceptable to have a duet with "The Hampshire Guitar Orchestra" and "The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain".

@PureZOOKS The Ukes are heroes of us as well, but think how big a stage we'd need! Best regards - everyone at hago

@hagoguitar Well, they are more comedy players, you are a committed orchestra.
Thank you. Oh, and while we're talking I'd like to ask, where one can find a soprano guitar, i cannot find them any-where.

@PureZOOKS Last time I checked, there was a soprano for sale at Classical Guitar Centre Birmingham, but I tried it and wasn't overly impressed... To get volume it had a large body and so only a 10 fret neck; top note on the body was D, with limited sustain.
Our altos with cutaways reach C# on the body with a lot more sustain.
