“I love this guitar so much – if something happened to it, I’d stop playing”: Fingerstyle phenom Laura Snowden on the guitar she can’t live without, how downtuning makes classical guitar “creepy” and what she learned from the great Julian Bream

Classical phenom Laura Snowden sits on a bed and plays her custom made Christopher Dean guitar.

There’s a profound sense of poetry to This Changing Sky, the debut album from English classical guitarist Laura Snowden.

Its 12 tracks combine her love for spoken word, humming and singing, alongside the stunning fretwork she’s become known for, taking the listener on a theatrical journey like no other.
