Hi, welcome to Sonny Black's official site,

Performer:
After years of playing and touring with his band, Sonny Black has reverted to his roots and now plays solo acoustic guitar at clubs, festivals, and concerts.  Two things you can be assured of:
 - You'll be amazed at what a single guitar/guitarist can do
 - You'll be entertained !

Teacher:
Sonny is also widely regarded as a guitar teacher at workshops, and individual tuition lessons.
Whatever your level, you'll learn a lot, remember it, and enjoy the experience.

Quote from Sonny :
"The acoustic guitar is like my own little orchestra in a box and I love the challenge of trying to make it sound like one. Along with my family, it is, my passion and one which has given me so much in difficult times.

Sessions on Radio 2s Johnny Walker and Paul Jones R&B Shows have helped me reach a wide audience and I am also very grateful for the support of Blues In Britain (UK), and  Blues Review (USA) magazines as well as Small Planet Music."
