Short Biography

Donald Bousted benefitted from some excellent teaching, studying the guitar with Thomas Hartmann, the lute with Christopher Wilson and early music with Peter Holman and Ian Gammie. As an undergraduate his first study was lute and his specialism musical composition. Later, he took further guitar lessons with Antonio Albanes at the Guildhall School of Music and Oliver Hunt privately. He had a long-established duo with flutist Lucinda Bunce with whom he gave many recitals at venues including St John’s Smith Square, St Martin’s in the Fields and live on Classic FM. In 2017, he discovered the classical ukulele and, inspired by its sound and quirkiness, it seemed to bring many of his interests together. His first ukulele CD, ‘The New Classical Ukulele’ was released in November 2020 and since then released a second CD, ‘Barry Tone’s Fantastic Adventure’ and a digital album, entitled, ‘Cross/Over’.
