About Dale Harris
Dale Harris was born in
West London, in 1968. Initially taught by his father, Dale began
playing the guitar at the age of four and gave his first solo public
performance at age 7.
His formal musical education includes a first class B.A.(Hon) degree, an M.A. in performance, and in 2004, Dale successfully completed a PhD entitled 'Cryptograms In The Music Of Alban Berg' . In 1998, Dale won 'The Larissa Lovelock Memorial Prize' – part of a Masters Degree scholarship specializing in classical guitar performance. Dale studied the classical guitar with Jeff Alexander and has had master-classes with John Mills, Richard Durrant, and John Myhill. Dale has also composed and performed on library albums and his music has appeared on radio, television and corporate video.
Dale Harris commenced
his semi-professional musical career playing both acoustic and electric
guitar under producers Ian Grant (BBC) and Pat Collier (freelance)
whilst simultaneously studying the classical guitar. Throughout his
career, Dale has entertained audiences with classical and Spanish
standards, virtuoso showpieces and he often includes folk, country,
jazz, blues and popular music in his concerts. He often includes items
written for a specially modified steel-string acoustic guitar by Adrian
Legg. It was Ian Grant who introduced Dale to a legend in British
country music, the singer Lorne Gibson. Dale was immediately asked to
join the Lorne Gibson Trio (in a role formerly occupied by Adrian
Legg), and they performed numerous concerts and British Isles tours
together. Amongst the specially invited performances that Dale has
contributed to have been to the 28th I.C.H.P.E.R. World Congress
attended by His Royal Highness Prince Phillip The Duke Of Edinburgh
(London, 1985) and the Archbishop of Canterbury George Carey
(Canterbury Cathedral, 1998) and once gave a private recital to a Zulu
King and Prince whilst visiting the Amaslubi tribe in KwaZulu Natal,
South Africa. During 1999, Dale performed a series of concerts
featuring late 20th Century classical guitar music featuring the epic Princes Toys Suite by Nikita Koshkin. Many audiences
have witnessed Dale Harris’s supreme command of the guitar, his
sensitive and unique interpretation, his mastery of extended techniques
together with his distinctive flamboyant style. The release of Espiritu
de la Guitarra heralded the first solo commercial Spanish
guitar release from Dale Harris. The new CD features Spanish and
Paraguayan music by Albéniz, Tárrega, Sor, De Murcia and Barrios
Mangoré.
When not touring or
recording, Dale enjoys cross-country walking, snooker &
billiards, chess, F1 Grand Prix racing and keenly supports Brentford
Football Club.
