John was a member of Soft Machine, toured with Stephane Grappelli and has worked on stage and in the studio with Barney Kessel, Herb Ellis, Mundell Lowe, Birelli Lagrene, Dizzy Gillespie, Tony Williams, Yehudi Menuhin, Pat Metheny, Andy Summers and Nigel Kennedy. Currently John is part of a new trio with classical guitarist John Williams and African drummer Patrick Bebey. Raymond Burley is one of Britain´s most experienced guitarists having performed solo concerts, concertos, on film scores, radio and television and in virtually every possible guitar ensemble combination. Raymond has worked with many of England 's finest orchestras including the BBC Symphony, the Philharmonia, the English Chamber Orchestra and the Royal Philharmonic. Raymond is currently a member of the New Pro Arte Guitar Trio. Shortly after its release the trio's fifth CD Danzas Fantasticas was Henry Kelly's ‘CD of the week' on Classic FM.
