DK Classical Guitars are pleased to be making a small donation to the project being developed by the JKL Duo; Jacopo Lazzaretti (guitar) and Kerry Lynch (flute). The project is called the 'International Poet'.
'This will be an album made up completely of music by Robert Burns, but with a twist. We will be working with composers (predominantly guitarists) from around the world, and asking each one to arrange/compose around a Burns song, making it sound as if it was folk music from their own country.'
Should any of our Facebook friends feel like sponsoring their efforts, donations can be made online at:

Good luck JKL!
