As a guitarist you've been strongly influenced by people like Chet Atkins, Wes Montgomery, Charlie Christian and Django Reinhardt. Is there anyone new on the scene you're inspired by? "Yes. Gil Parris, an American guitarist. He's got a video out. He plays a kind of fusion, bluesy stuff. I thought this is really lovely"
