Tristan Seume is one of the UK's finest young fingerstyle guitarists. Delighting audiences up and down the UK with his blend of folk, country, Celtic and neo-classical styles, and with his cheerful stage presence, he has been likened to players such as John Renbourn and Gordon Giltrap
His new CD, You Just Know is available now, from www.guitarcds.net, by clicking here. A beautiful collection of Celtic arrangements, pastoral melodies and country pickin' toons, the CD is a guitar music lover's delight.
A respected guitar tutor, he has taught at the Academy of Contemporary Music (ACM), Brighton Institute of Modern Music (BIMM) and each summer at the Bath International Guitar Festival. He is also the UK's demonstrator for Guild Guitars, and is the acoustic guitar techniques columnist for Guitarist Magazine
Tristan is also a sought-after session musician and plays guitar and hammered dulcimer for the baroness of nu-folk, Lisa Knapp in her live band.
Hey stranger : ) It's been awhile, so I'm stopping by, to wish you a wonderful holiday season. It's still a profound pleasure, to listen to your gifts of sound, and your new photo, is simply perfect ; )
Go to youtube, search "abbomusic" all our stuff (so far) is there and its free for your ears. It's all been made with blood sweat and tears, by us, and has cost less than a grand to make. Enjoy, and let us know what you think. Take good care. Much love, abbo

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
Hi Tristan, Thanks for the workshops. I learned tons!!!!!!!! I really enjoyed your set, your stage presence made me laugh a lot too. Thought your CD was Brilliant listened to it all about 3 times on the way back from Ullapool!
Hey dude, cheers for accepting... one of the very few genuine friends on my profile. Still loving your music, your album still gets pulled out whenever stress relief is in order, and it truly satisfies.
Hiya Tristan! I hope you are well.I just wanted to let you know that I have put six new songs from my forthcoming album up on my player.It would be great if you could give them a listen and let me know what you think.I actually managed to record all 14 tracks in one day's studio session! God Bless, Tim.
Packing me boots, stringing me guitars and getting ready for the next two weeks. Don't be frightened to shout out any songs off the album you want to hear and don't forget the crazier you are the crazier we are.
Look forward to seeing you in the asylum at the end of the tour.
