- Hertfordshire Guitar Orchestra
Founded in 1993 it has rapidly developed into a regularly performing

classical to rock to jazz to flamenco to world music and a repertoire
that is immediate, often exciting and quite definitely "fun to play and
fun to listen to" results in an immensely entertaining concert
programme.
