The Model

Martin Taylor and Andreas Varady

€15 / 12 / The world’s greatest jazz soloist meets the thirteen year old fretboard genius.

Award winning guitarist MARTIN TAYLOR has established a unique musical career as an internationally acclaimed musician, and his inimitable style has seen him recognised as the world’s foremost exponent of solo jazz guitar playing.

As well as being a true guitar innovator, he is also a master concert performer, dazzling audiences with his solo shows, which combine virtuosity, emotion, humour, with a strong stage presence.

Martin has also collaborated with musicians from many different musical genre including, Stephane Grappelli, Chet Atkins, Bill Wyman, George Harrison, Dionne Warwick, Sacha Distel,Bryn Terfel and Jamie Cullum.



He is joined by 13 year old child prodigy Andreas Varady. Since moving to Ireland with his family from Slovakia in 2008, there has been quite a buzz building rabout the remarkably talented thirteen year old guitarist. He has just become the youngest person ever to headline a session at the world famous Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London.
Martin Taylor didn’t want to mention Andreas Varady’s age, believing that the 13-year-old is quite simply a great jazz musician. End of story. And Taylor has a point. Listening with eyes closed to the youngster and Taylor trading solos, it would be hard to believe what you see when you open those eyes again.
