Rich Arthurs - Guitarist.
Rich Arthurs studied classical guitar and jazz studies at Leeds College of Music 92 - 96 where he formed a celebrated and prize winnning guitar duo playing contemporary and avant garde classical music. After leaving college he worked for the Yehudi Menhuin Charity Live Music Now! touring the country for three years playing in prisons and schools for children with special needs. Around this time he also formed the latin jazz trio SAUDADE in 1996 who became firm favourites at festivals and clubs around the UK over the next ten years. Rich met percussionist Sam Bell in 2004 and they formed ORGATRONICS and released the 2005 album MOONFRUIT to great reviews. Since then they have had numerous tracks included on compilations around the world, including the latest Cafe Del Mar offering, and are busy writing and producing the second Orgatronics album which will be released in 2008. Rich's inimitable guitar style draws on traditional Brasillian and flamenco traditions of the Spanish guitar fused with the rock and jazz techniques of the electric.
