ABOUT SGQ The SGQ are a contemporary music group, comprising four of Scotland's leading acoustic guitarist-composers; Ged Brockie, Nigel Clark, Malcolm MacFarlane and Kevin MacKenzie. They draw on celtic, modern, classical and jazz genres, with strong influences from world music, and blend these disparate styles together to produce an eclectic sound that is both unique and powerful with the textures and timbres of four acoustic guitars.

The Scottish Guitar Quartet are one of the Scottish music scene's most exciting acts, with plaudits such as "national asset" being bandied about in reviews - the band have earned their following largely through refusing to be boxed in by genre. Though pitching themselves primarily as a jazz outfit, they also weave Celtic, classical and world music strands into their sound. This is aided by the fact that all four players are talented composers, in addition to the diversity of their previous experience. The quartet's intricately arranged, original material, punctuated by improvisational interludes sets a musical scene that is truly a unique world sound.
