About
When it comes to empathy this duet of guitar virtuosi comes close to perfection. Pete Oxley & Nicolas Meier's roots lie in jazz, but they cover a whole bunch of genres, Latin, Middle Eastern, English pastoral and their own brand of simply music.

This gig features Pete Oxley, alongside his long-term guitar brother, Nicolas Meier, playing the broadest range of guitar stylings in a set of "utterly captivating original music" (The Guardian).
Oxley-Meier have recorded 7 CDs together and have performed literally hundreds of concerts across the UK and Europe – including sell-outs at such diverse venues as Ronnie Scott's, The Wigmore Hall, Musicport World Music Festival and the Cambridge Folk Festival!

And speaking of guitars: as a part of the objective to deliver a highly varied programme, they bring 8 -10 differing instruments with them to the gigs, including fretless nylon-string, electric 12-string, sitar guitar, 11-string fretless, steel string, 7-string nylon, acoustic 12 string…
