\"Bill
\nPut together a world class guitarist, a renowned composer and a famous luthier, mix together with a pinch of local colour and you will probably get something like this short film by Henry Astor.
\nIt pools the talents of Xuefei Yang, Bill Lovelady and Paul Fisher.
\nCentred on the Cotswolds where both Paul and Bill live and work, the film charts the creation of a guitar (made from rare and beautiful lacewood) and the writing of a solo guitar piece (Aubade).
\nFei is the common factor as she discovers Paul’s instrument and explores Bill’s piece as he writes it.
\nAppropriately the film gets its premiere in Paul Fisher’s home town of Chipping Norton, in the glorious theatre<\/a> on February 12th, followed by a live recital by Fei. It is all a very local affair, but with international stars.
\n\"Paul\"
\nHere is the blurb:<\/p>\n

Aubade is a documentary film following three contemporary talents in the classical guitar world as they unite on a creative journey. From legendary luthier Paul Fischer, who lives in Chipping Norton, to prolific and accomplished composer William Lovelady and guitar virtuoso Xuefei Yang, the film captures the art and dedication required to build a classical guitar and to compose and perform at the highest levels. As part of the evening, Xuefei Yang will perform music from the film as well as from her new album.
\nThe first half of the evening will be the film screening. The second will be Xuefei Yang playing. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
