USOM Presents Guitar Night Live Ep 2 : Niwel Tsumbu

USOM Presents Guitar Night Live Ep 2 : Niwel Tsumbu

Saturday, 11 April 2020, 8.00pm

Every Saturday night in April, Ultimate School of Music are hosting Guitar Night Live, a livestreamed guitar chat show with special guests. Some of Ireland’s top professional guitarists across all genres will be on the show, interviewed by USOM director Daniel Jacobson.

This is a rare chance to hear these players talk openly and informally about how they got into guitar, and what got them to where they are now on their guitar playing journey. You will also see and hear them demonstrate their favourite techniques and practice methods.

You can even pick their brains by joining in and asking questions!

Each guest will be announced one week before the show.

The idea for Guitar Night Live came about when we at USOM were thinking about what we could be doing for the large guitar community in Ireland, including our own students. While the webinar will be free to all, during the show we will put up a Paypal Donate link that will let you donate any amount, small or large, that will go directly to our featured guest’s own paypal account. A lot of these great artists have lost a huge portion of their income due to gig cancellations.

Guitar Night Live will be free to participate in (you will need to download the Zoom app and have an internet connection).

Episode 2 of Guitar Night Live features one of Ireland’s most interesting guitarists and composers, Niwel Tsumbu.

Niwel is originally from the Congo and moved to Ireland in 2004. Since then he has gained a reputation for being a virtuosic guitarist, fluent in a number of styles and genres. He has collaborated with Liam O Maonlai, Roger Doyle, The Crash Ensemble, and many more.

He is an incredible musician. At an Ultimate School of Music masterclass he demonstrated various styles of music from the Congo and educated us about Congolese music, which is like a mixture of classical music and folk music and African music. You can see a video clip below of the masterclass.

Don’t miss this chance to hear Niwel live!
