Music, Writer & Director: Preston Reed Reviewer: Samuel Shelton The Public Reviews Rating: Revisiting the Rondo Theatre, Bath, is Preston Reed, he invites you to join him in his “dreamy acoustic mood.” This one man show washes away any hideous pop tune and replaces it with a mastery of composure, commitment and pure skill on the guitar.
