HOMEPAGE
Although the name Double Vision may be new, it's members, Gordon Giltrap and Raymond Burley are both well known as solo performers; Gordon for composing and performing on steel string guitar, Raymond as an arranger and classical guitarist.
Double Vision is a unique fusion of two genres that has grown out of their many years experience.
From this page you can find out more about Gordon and Raymond, see photos from recent concerts, or find out about booking the duo.
The UK's Only Acoustic Guitar Magazine Acoustic Magazine is to feature Double Vision:
Gordon has written a series of articles entitled "Gordon Giltrap's Double Vision " for Acoustic Magazine, all about the duo and their music. So, if you would like to know more about Gordon's writing and the subsequent arrangements for two guitars by Raymond then this will be the magazine to get.
This is an excellent magazine, dedicated solely to acoustic guitars and associated stringed & fretted instruments. which I thoroughly recommend.
Gordon's contributions will run from Issue 10 through to and including Issue 16. Issue 10 goes onsale 26th May and, being a bi-monthly title, each subsequent onsale date will be approx 2 months hence.
You can visit the Acoustic Magazine website here, and sign up for a subscription to make sure you don't miss any issues. One year ( 6 issues ) posted to a UK address is £20, or individual issues are on sale in newsagents for £3.95.
Steve Marsh has written a review of
the "Double Vision" CD
in the Dec 2005 edition of Classical Guitar Magazine and reports :
"This is a recording to savour and will surely satisfy classical guitarists and folk guitarists alike".
"When reviewing two players of this standard it
seems almost an insult to state how well they perform, but there have
been fusions of top musicians before which have simply not worked for
some reason or another, but I’m happy to report that Burley and Giltrap
gel so well in this enterprise that it would seem they had been playing
together much longer than just these few years.
Highly recommended."
