Classic Guitar airs every fourth Friday of the month at 8pm and is presented by Alan Dixon and Paul Zdrenka (both graduates in classical guitar). The programme showcases the best of classical guitar music by world-renowned artists.
Paul graduated from Massey University, now part of the New Zealand School of Music, and Alan spent time in the UK studying with William Lloyd Webber at the London College of Music.
Alan and Paul have had diverse careers that include playing big band jazz, as wedding musicians, as school teachers, sound recording and now radio broadcasting. Alan is a now a full time guitar teacher in Christchurch, and Paul is the Technical Coordinator at Plains FM.
