Billy Watman - Classical Gone Rogue

BILLY WATMAN — “CLASSICAL GONE ROGUE”
Classical guitar was never meant to behave like this!Classically trained at the prestigious Royal College of Music in London and shaped by his Anglo-Brazilian roots, Billy Watman has built his musical career on refusing to stay in one lane.  His virtuosic guitar playing fuses jaw-dropping classical precision with fiery flamenco attitude — and then turns these techniques loose on songs you’d least expect to hear played this way.

Rock anthems, classical masterpieces, pop hits, disco classics and Hollywood film themes — interspersed with Billy’s original compositions. Nothing is off limits, and nothing sounds quite the way you remember it.Billy’s performances have attracted many millions of views online, including his acclaimed Bohemian Rhapsody, praised and shared by Queen and Brian May’s official channels.

He has toured extensively throughout the UK and Europe, performing alongside legendary musicians including Adam & Rick Wakeman on the Jazz Sabbath tour, and Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath, with whom Billy worked on Sky Arts’ Guitar Star.

Technically fearless. Completely unpredictable. A live musical experience like no other.From the precision and beauty of classical guitar to explosive flamenco rhythms, Billy recreates and reimagines familiar songs — with infectious personality, plenty of fun and a healthy dose of laughs.

After selling out The Players Theatre last time around, Billy is back by popular demand.  If you caught the last show, you’ll know what’s coming. If you didn’t, come and find out what happens when classical guitar stops playing by the rules.  Expect the unexpected. Don’t wait — grab your ticket!
