Guest Player
Guy Steward has played guitar since he was thirteen, playing rock and blues in his teens. As an adult, he studied under Chris Baine and began to focus more on classical and flamenco. He was inspired by occasional lessons with the likes of Matthew Marshall, Gunter Herbig, and Virginia Farnsworth, and was active on the committee of the Auckland Classic Guitar Society. He holds a BA Music Major, LTCL for Music Education, and TCL Grade 8 with honours. Guy also plays piano and only recently resigned from ten years playing the bagpipes in the Otahuhu and Districts Pipe Band. Guy also composes his own music, both for guitar and piano.
