Born
in Wordsley/England,
Mark discovered his passion for plucked string instruments while
listening to Led Zeppelin. His lute studies with Nigel North at the
Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London have been
complemented by master classes with amongst others Jakob Lindberg
& Julian Bream.
"Mark
Wheeler's command of plucked instruments is inspiring and original. The
instrument is so much an extension of himself, that you trust his
impulses and artistry completely" Evelyn
Tubb
His
extensive research
into the
repertoire and playing techniques of the renaissance cittern has earned
him a reputation as one of the worlds leading experts on this unduly
neglected instrument.
"Mark
Wheeler played the cittern with his customary style &
panache. How good it is to hear the cittern played as a "real proper"
instrument by someone who really takes it seriously and has truly
mastered it"
