Live music has been a prominent feature of life at The Dysart Arms for three and a half years, since our opening night featuring Ike Leo and Art Terry exploring the influence of Ray Charles. Following the initial success of fortnightly Thursday night jazz, we decided to augment the musical events, and introduced a fortnightly classical music event on Saturdays. This began with performances from the brilliant classical guitarist Peter Black, and soon grew to include pianists when we bought the Bechstein grand piano. A great debt of gratitude is owed to our friend Art Terry, an inspiring and sensitive jazz pianist, who has helped us immeasurably from the outset. Art aided us greatly in finding our beautiful 1897 Bechstein grand piano – a truly lovely instrument with immaculate rosewood bodywork and a fantastic rich timbre. The difference made by the Bechstein has been huge – we have been able to attract some more of the world’s finest performers, and the overall sound and atmosphere of the events have changed dramatically, with audiences glued to the deep acoustic piano sound and ensemble with other instrumentalists. We are committed to excellent quality sound, whether it is acoustic, amplified or playback of recordings, so we have installed a state of the art sound system that is used for daily playback of selected music playlists as well as amplification of some of our more delicate instruments such as Spanish guitar or lute. The sound system includes Martin Logan Electrostatic speakers, an Audio Research Valve Stereo Amplifier, a Copland Digital Amplifier, a Yamaha mixing and effects console, and complete Transparent Audio Cabling. The dinner music programme has now increased to four nights a week as well as Sunday lunchtime. A more recent addition to the music programme is the series of Sunday evening classical recitals, on the first Sunday of every month. We transform the restaurant into a supremely intimate concert venue, and stage solo instrumentalists and duos. Already after seven concerts we have explored some fascinatingly diverse repertoire including Schubert, Barber, Liszt, Ginasteras, Beethoven, Enescu and Poulenc. We have had performances at the Sunday recitals from some fantastic talents, including award winning pianist Viv McLean, World Youth Harmonica Champion Philip Achille as well as many other rising stars of the classical world. Future concerts will include the return of Viv McLean on January 4th, a recital from flautist Unji Chung (Winner of theAudi-Mozart International Woodwinds Competition in Italy) on February 1st, and a fascinating performance of Cuban guitar music from the superb guitarist Ahmed Dickinson Cardenas. Regular dinner performers include: Saxophonist
Stan Robinson, who regularly played with Ronnie Scott
