Tommy Emmanuel Wednesday 7 December • 7.30pm Tickets £20t Two-time Grammy award nominee Tommy Emmanuel will return to Cambridge as part of his 50th anniversary world tour. This legendary guitarist is one of Australia’s most respected musicians. Tommy’s unique style, he calls it simply ‘finger style’, is akin to playing guitar the way a pianist plays piano, using all ten fingers.
