As a composer and arranger for over thirty years, Francis has written & arranged music in styles ranging from Baroque to Blues, from Celtic to Rock, from Jazz to Samba to eclectic World Music. His primary emphasis has been the guitar in all its varieties.

"I enjoy writing and performing many styles and often blend the different elements together. From the simplest melody and rhythm, to the most complex harmony and counterpoint, I believe that music has the ability to captivate the spirit. For me, one of the most unique and important aspects of music is its ability to communicate, even without words. I try to express something genuine with each of my compositions." - John Francis

Thanks Viktor! Don't worry, I have quite a few up my sleeve.Hopefully, there will be one which will resonate as well as "Coral Sunset," perhaps more alto-guitar stuff. All the best, - jf
