In recent weeks, he has performed at the Royal Albert Hall with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, taken his solo show around the country, played the famous Aranjuez guitar concerto with the Brighton Youth Orchestra and given five Brighton Festival performances of Galactic Symphonies with Beach Boys lyricist Stephen J. Kalinich.

Now with the Adur Festival upon us, the Shoreham musician will be playing at home for two special gigs.

Said Durrant: "I've been away on so many musical adventures lately '“ but best of all is to come back and play at the Adur Festival. It's got that unique Shoreham vibe, a truly wonderful festival."
