DESCRIPTION:Hailed by John Renbourn as 'the best Celtic guitarist in the wo
 rld\,' Tony McManus has been listed as one of the 50 transcendent guitarist
 s of all time by Guitar Player Magazine. Tony has both extended and transce
 nded the parameters of contemporary Celtic music. Ranked by peers and prede
 cessors alike alongside the guitar world's all-time greats\, his fiendishly
  dexterous and dazzlingly original playing draws on traditions from the ent
 ire Celtic world\, along with still further-ranging flavors such as jazz an
 d European music.  Long applauded for his uncanny ability to transpose the 
 delicate\, complex ornamentation characteristic of traditional bagpipe or f
 iddle tunes - even the phrasing of a Gaelic song - onto his own six strings
 \, McManus is increasingly being acknowledged also as a pioneering figure i
 n bridging the realms of Celtic music and other guitar genres.\n\nMcMans wa
 s nominated as Musician of the Year by both the BBC Folk Awards and the Sco
 ttish Traditional Music Awards. In 2002\, "Ceol More" hit the Critics' Albu
 m of the Year list in Acoustic Guitar Magazine and was named "Live Ireland 
 Awards" Album of the Year. He has performed at major folk festivals and rec
 orded with such Celtic giants as Alasdair Fraser\, Kevin Burke\, Natalie Ma
 cMaster\, Dougie MacLean\, and more.
