Hi Antonio,
Could not get to concert at Swaledale festival this year.
Darlington is on your schedule for this September, but no venue listed.
Any info on this.
Many Thanks

Dear Cliff, there was a mistake on the concert date calendar I have now corrected. Darlington unfortunately won't happen this year. Sorry

I was at Susannah's party on Saturday and just want to say thank you for a joyous and delightful afternoon, which will keep me smiling for some time! You have a new fan.

Dear Mary Thank you for your kind words. Best wishes A

I had the opportunity to meet Antonio as a musician , following some of his concerts: the extraordinary part of his musical talent lies in his ability to live, interpret and convey his musical message to everyone, starting from himself. Moments of suspension, prelude to a becoming of harmony and melody that can overwhelm and transport the listener towards spaces of subtle understanding, which are the characteristic, in my opinion, of his talent and desire to communicate in music, first of all by getting in touch with itself to then involve the listener!

Thanks for the kind words, Stefano. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

I was just listening to some Jim Croce tunes and the very instant Tomorrows Going To Be A brighter Day started my mind went to you. Weve communicated several times in the past. Youve done a couple of songs i mentioned to you. I would love to see how you would take that song and run with it. Id be willing to bet millions of others would like that too. I hope you and yours are doing well. Thank you for making my life a bit easier to handle through your music. Sincerely David Reynolds

Hi Antonio,

I've been listening your musing during the passing years... in my opinion your are one of the most talented and unique guitarists of all time.
Why we can not buy all your music on CD format? I think this is the least we can do... I don't get it... vinyl format would be heavenly :)

I wish you bright sounds on the edge

much obliged... Paul

Hi Paul, Thank you so much for appreciating my work. At the moment it is not possible to buy CDs or Vinyl from my website because I had to momentarily close the webshop. Soon you will be able to purchase CDs, Vinyl, Art work as well as Guitar transcriptions. Thank you

Hi Antonio,

I've been following you for a number of years now and went to the recent gig in Devizes with some friends who hadn't seen you play before. They were totally " blown away " by you and your band and came away re-energised, inspired and with a spring in their step. In these crazy times we need more people like you, so please keep those precious fingers dancing on those strings for many more years to come.

Best wishes,
David
ps. I hope you managed to sort out that broken machine head properly in the end.

Hi we have been enjoying your music for about 5 years and we've been to see you at pizza express in dean street at least twice. My son is getting married in June and is going to enter the ceremony to Stay Forever. I don't suppose you are in England on 22 June and available to play in person in Windsor registry office?

Thank you Antonio
a lady at work who knows I am learning the guitar advised me to watch your show. I really loved the interaction between you and the musicians, the gentleman on the base guitar and the percussion player were fantastic. It was a magic carpet ride around the world of music I have brought some albums on iTunes and made a small donation on Ronnie website so I hope this helps.
Keep well all of you and keep making music.
Best Wishes
Helena

Thank you, Helena, glad you enjoyed our concert at Ronnie Scott's. A special thank you for the donation we really appreciate it. Keep well Antonio x

I am loving your performance at Ronnie Scott's. I live in Syracuse, New York, USA, so I couldn't watch you live as I was working. But I wanted to convey my respect and thanks for your music. I have been a "fan" for years. Being a guitarist myself only increases my respect for your work. You have transcended your instrument with your compositions.

Thank you.

I wanted to make a donation, but it seems the Ronnie Scott donation page is now set to credit the donations to the next scheduled performer. If possible let me know how I can make a contribution that will credited to you.

I wish you well in the coming years. May we get back to live music freely available and soon.

Hi Karl Sperber Thank you so much for watching the Lockdown Session Livestream at The Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club. We all had a good time...looking forward to performing with an audience again when allowed. As for Donation, the link is: www.antonioforcione.com/p-donate Thank YOU

Last night at Ronnie Scott's was just amazing. Huge thanks to all three of you for the stupendous music and for a real lift of the spirits. We look forward to seeing you back there on stage for real as soon as circumstances allow!

First saw Antonio at Edinburgh Fringe some years ago and couldn't believe the amazing sound was just one man and his guitar. He is absolutely magical. We have seen him only once since again at Edinburgh and must make arrangements to see him again.

Lesley Scholes

Thu May 17 2018

Hi Antonio,

We have seen you perform over the years in various venues including the Edinburgh Fringe, and the RNCM in Manchester, but as far as I'm aware you haven't as yet appeared anywhere in Liverpool, so how about coming to pay us a visit here? We have excellent venues, such as the Music Room attached to the Liverpool Philharmonic, and St Georges Hall, a particularly beautiful concert room. So please give a thought to performing here for your many admirers in Merseyside.

Cheers,

Lesley

I bet the shoemaker did 'Touch Wood' at you being successful with the guitar! but we imagine you have had many an 'Acoustic Revenge' over the years. We wish you both a 'Funky' night tonight and am sure you will be in your 'Comfort Zone'. We are looking forward to seeing you once again at the Stables.

Mon Jun 13 2016

hey Antonio

Saw you a few years back in the uk playing as a duo with Adriano Adewale. One of the best shows of my life!

Any chance of reviving the partnership back here again.

Or how about some solo shows?

Hoping you can find time to get back to Wavendon Stables with one of those...

Hi Antonio, When will you ever play in Leeds? It's a big place, lots of fans, I don't want always to have to go to Manchester or London to see you play. Hull is just about OK, but Leeds would be better! Loved your..

Grazie per essere tornato di nuovo in Italia, FINALMENTE!!!

Ogni volta che ti ascolto mi accorgo che non serve sapere da cosa hai tratto ispirazione basta semplicemente lasciarsi accompagnare dalle tue note...che mi porteranno sicuramente laddove volevi che giungessero. Meraviglioso come sempre =)

Just listed to Comfort Zone on Youtube - I loved it! Also what a wonderful voice Sarah Jane has. I see you are touring with her and wondered if you have any plans to make an album with her ?

Hi John, Glad you enjoyed the song Comfort Zone, this is one of the songs that SarahJ and I have written and will be in the album that we have just finished recording. It will probably be out early next year. Thank you for the interest and appreciation. Antonio

Deep down in my soul I can hear your music whisper emotions that no words could ever tells so round and warm...

I see waves, shape of passion, hope and life...

Where the darkness becomes the real state of glimmers of light wrapped in a soft warm hug where to sleep tight...

And the picture framed with your smile which will never stop shine...

Thank you Antonio for creating so much love. Nxx

You have a gig listed for 20th June as Astor Theatre, London and one for the 27th as Astor Theatre, Kent. Are these both taking place in Deal (Kent) or is one actually in London? I would love to see the show with Sarah Jane Morris but can't make it as far as Kent!

Hi there. Have thought about you lots since seeing you at the Edinburgh festival as I so enjoyed your performance. Brilliant. The whole show was so entertaining , I loved your stories between each track and you r since of humour adds to the fun. Your guitar playing is immense. I shall be looking out for any gigs in London.

We have been fans and followers of you for many years, seeing you numerous times; most recently your last performance in Edinburgh. Great show as ever - the consummate professional entertainer. We also love your dry humour and warmth that you show every time you perform. Have a suggestion: how about bringing a part of "Touch Wood" more up to date by changing your musical impression of a typewriter? After all younger audience members might not know what a typewriter sounds like. Suggest you first turn your guitar to resemble opening a laptop then emulate the tune of Windows starting up. Keep wowing the fans.

Hi Antonio,

In about 1983 my wife and I stopped by a pair of buskers in Covent Garden. We thought they were great, so we bought a cassette of their music from them. We enjoyed it a few times, then put it with the rest of our music collection and haven't listened to it for years.

This year, we decided we finally should get to the Edinburgh Festival, and on looking through the programme I saw a name I thought I recognised - yours.

So we are coming to see you play on Sunday night, 10 August - for the first time in 31 years, by my reckoning. That must make us pretty much your oldest fans!

And the cassette? It is signed by you and Eduardo "with love", and has the tracks "For Django", "Black Orpheus", "Tico Tico", "Chanela", "Spanish Heart", "Concierto Aranjuez" and "Spain", as

We went to your Stables show with some friends who are keen guitar fans and we hugely enjoyed the show. As the Sec of Luton Music it's classical chamber music I mostly listen to but I like many genres of music and it's so refreshing to hear such exciting and original music these days. Pity more folk were there to discover such music for themselves, Best wishes and many thanks, Terry & Carole Lockyer

Dear Antonio,

I heard you and Adriano play last night in Redhill and I am still living off the feeling today. It was a truly mesmerising sound, and an awe-inspiring performance.

Thank you so much for bringing such a wonderful experience to Redhill - I can't wait to come and hear you again.

Giulia Helden

Mon Apr 28 2014

We saw you last night at Redhill, unfortunately we couldn't stay to talk afterwards.

I'd just like to say it was mesmerising, all four of us decided it was the best concert we have been to for a long time.

I've never been to Africa but I could see the animals waking up and strutting around during African Dawn. All the music was so emotive and will stay with me for a long time.

Thank you for such a wonderful experience, we will definitely be on the look out for more shows.

Come promesso, scrivo!

Il concerto al Q di Padova assieme a Sarah Jane Morris davvero una rivelazione!

Non sono una musicista esperta, ma apprezzo la musica, soprattutto quella che commuove e "smuove" sentimenti e stati d'animo che spesso rimangono sopiti a lungo nella frenesia delle azioni quotidiane!

Grazie Antonio per la preziosissima serata!

Rinnovo a te e Sarah (se mai doveste avere delle date libere) l'invito a venire per un concerto nel Salento. Nei mesi di luglio e agosto avreste il pienone assicurato qualsiasi sia la vostra proposta!

Spero proprio di avere ancora l'opportunità di ascoltarvi dal vivo.

See you soon Elisabetta ;)

Caro Antonio,

Ti ho conosciuto alla radio in Inghilterra ed ho avuto la fortuna di venire ad un tuo concerto a Roma….ora lavoro in Mali…spesso a a contatto con artisti...è una terra di musica, cantastorie, danza...qui invece della chitarra abbiamo la kora (21 corde) e perdendomi negli arpeggi dei miei amici musicisti, penso ad uno splendido concerto a Roma in cui non riuscivo a credere alla magia della tua musica.
Se un giorno ti andasse di fare un salto anche qui...you're muchly welcome :)

Grazie del messaggio, l'Africa e' al centro della mia mappa, l'ultimo progetto infatti si chiama "Sketches of Africa" lavoro ( anche se non troppo spesso con AKA Trio. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOQ1wonYAlk Mi piacerebbe tantissimo visitare Mali e assorbire le bellezze di quella cultura. Buon tutto !

Hi Antonio, We met in early-2006 in Wellington, New Zealand. We spent time together at the Real Music Company which, you will remember, is the local Naim dealer. I have such fond memories of your visit and your wonderful performances. I also remember meeting Jenny Adejayan. What a lovely person and superb cellist she is! (Please say hi to her from me.) May 2014 be another great year for you! Rob P.S. Hope you can visit Wellington again soon.

Hello Antonio,
Just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and all the musicians who performed with you last night at the Purcell Room. It was a magical gig! I took three friends for birthday and Christmas presents, and we all loved every moment. The chemistry between you and the others was amazing and we got high on the joy that you created on stage.

I look forward to seeing you perform again before too long. Thank you again.
warm wishes
Annie

Hi Antonio,

I'm a big fan. I came to the concert you held with Sarah Jane Morris at Ropetackle, Shoreham on 1 November and brought a friend of mine who did not know your music. I expected to be bathed in liquid sunshine as I always am when I listen to you play, sadly Sarah Jane dominated the performance and the result was extremely depressing and made me very angry. Being bombarded by political statements is not my idea of a pleasant evening out and I would have left at the interval had I realised the second half would be as depressing as the first.

Hi Angela, Thank you for your appreciation towards my work. I am sorry if the music evening at the Ropetackle did not quite suit your taste. It was clear from the venue program that it wasn't the usual Antonio Forcione gig that evening, but a collaboration with singer songwriter Sarah Jane Morris who's w

Antonio, would you and Eduardo Niebla ever on sided playing together again. I saw you playing many times in the late 80's at the Bulls head in Barnes several times with a girlfriend at the time and have followed both your careers ever since. The girlfriend is now a good friend and it would make our relationship if we could ever get to see you guys play again

Sincere thanks to you Antonio, Anselmo and Matheus for the top quality and thoroughly entertaining gig at the Marsden Jazz Festival last Sunday. Fourth time seeing you, and it just gets better for me! Really pleased for you that the gig was sold out, more people than when we saw you previously at the Lawrence Batley Theatre in Huddersfield, and in Barnsley, and I'm pretty sure you made many new fans last Sunday. Love the music from your Searches of Africa album, and of course hearing the favourites you played. It was really good to see and talk with you again. Till the next time. Ciao!

Thanks for an absolutely stunning gig at the Marsden Jazz Festival yesterday, and thanks for your generous time afterwards chatting. The new Africa CD is superb and we enjoyed the mind (and finger!) bending Touch Wood. Look forward to seeing you again very soon. Bravo Antonio!
