Acoustic Mania is an exciting collaboration between Antonio Forcione and Neil Stacey, and The Naim Label are pleased to present “Talking Hands” as a major project celebrating the duos successful partnership. Neil and Antonio have been together for five years and with the exception of a recording that was made live at the Edinburgh Festival, this is their first album. Neil is a founder member of the Hot Club group “the Kimbara Brothers” whose success over the years has led to no less than six albums and much positive acknowledgement. He has toured all over the UK and Europe, playing with such musicians as Martin Taylor, John Etheridge and Humphrey Littleton. Antonio is also no stranger to achievement, leading three separate bands and touring regularly with these as well as solo. He is as popular with audiences enthusiastic for his easy competence and charismatic performances, as he is with other guitarists. Antonio has played in international festivals with Martin Taylor, Bireli Lagrene, Barney Kessel and others of distinction. Upon listening to the long awaited “Talking Hands” it becomes apparent why these two guitarists make such good music together; their characteristic styles of adventure, humour and improvisiation both complementing and contrasting each other. “Acoustic Mania are consistent fans of daredevil crescendos, lucid expression and flamboyant delivery.” The Advertiser, Adelaide, Australia Track Listing 1.
