QUOTES
'...Forcione has a freedom of expression that should never be stifled by a label; so go in to the record store and look under'Jazz''world music','acoustic music' ....or maybe just 'genius.' (Jane Brace)
Observer

"...Forcione seamlessly interweaves African, blues, Brazilian, classical, flamenco and Indian influences into an entirely personal signature sound. Evocative, sensuos, meticulously wrought, this is music-making with a singular vision.' ( Peter Queen)
****Jazz Wise (Apr 07)

'...Guitar heroics, yes, but with a touch of class.'
(Clive Davis)
The Times (Dec 06)

'...Recommended unreservedly.' (Tony Augarde)
Amazon.com (Feb 07)
'...Forcione is always imaginative, coaxing a huge sound from his guitar with blisteringly fast runs and unfamiliar chords, before slowing to a reflective, shimmering beauty.' (Gareth K Vile)
www.stv.tv (06)

- "A performer of world class status ... forceful and with an enviable technique, he takes the guitar to new levels of expression combining its melodic powers with dramatic percussive effects. Forcione boldly goes where no guitarist has gone before and the results are quite spectacular ... miss him at your peril". THE STAGE

- "Forcione plays unstringed parts of the guitar other players can't hope to reach" THE INDEPENDENT

- "Forcione belongs to the absolute world top" www.hi-fi.nl

- "AF is a musician's musician in the best sense,with superlative tecnique that is fluent,natural and truly virtuoso without being flashy." Simon Broughton - SONGLINES

'...Delightful.' (Ray Comiskey)
**** Irish Times

[BJazz77]

@ziatrench if you are going to play devils advocate why not take on the Arts centre @ colchester? 44+120500900 and talk to the Arts Director. They told me the performer's management company had changed and not told the new regime. Where does that leave his 200 fans? I tried to contact Mr Forcione's company before I posted on You -tube.

@1189wanado Just want to say - this is NOT antonio's fault at all. The VENUE booked this gig but never actually confirmed/did contracts etc so, the guy went to Poland with no clue there was a gig due. Please don't blame the musician!

raga che stile..classe,gusto,e grinta

[Joyland20101]

Your absolutely right, each to there own of course but why do the majority of people settle for second rate music?I guess the music industry have a lot to answer for?give me Zappa,don Ross ,andy McKee and the likes Anytime.

[oooodaxteroooo]

@Joyland20101 very funny to compare the two. very different focus group. but still, if you multiply each focus groups iq times the quantity of people in it youd probably get the same result for both. *cough* hahaha.

[Lichtfee004]

fantastic ...much love ann

[EvilSean62]

@dsammak yup

@jackwoodi

Hi Jack, What a dissapointment.. Travelled 100 miles to Colchester, prebooked a hotel for three people and turned up at 8.30 prepared to be dazzled!!! Got told at the door CANCELLED!!!! Mr Forcione is in Poland, "we olny found out about it an hour ago.... I checked out his website and yes he's in Warsaw 12th and 13th November.. Had to drive home another 100 miles. On the website in the welcome paragraph he writes "I realise all that matters is honesty to what you do" regardss,ray

[Joyland20101]

Can you imagine Noel Gallagher playing this,,,errr probably not.oasis my arse.thanks Antonio for the inspiration x

[jackwoodi]

@1189wanado ah thats great ! Saw Andy Mckee there a while back, it was superb ! Jack
