Shared concert with hago, award winning UK guitar orchestra, in the most beautiful St Agathas Church of Portsmouth, England. Bruce played the first half solo and then joined hago at the end of the second half for a combined performance of the theme music to Schindler's List. This was a poignant moment as the concert had coincided with the day of the July London bombs.

A review of the concert appeared in the September 2005 edition of Classical Guitar Magazine

House at the Stone Bell, Old Town Square, Prague 

In 1998 Bruce Paine was invited as guest artist for a performance with Stapan Rak in the heart of Prague. It took place in the "House at the Stone Bell" - a most precious "burgess house" from the Middle Ages. Originally Romanesque, later remodeled in Gothic style with a two-storey facade dating from the 14th century, renovated in 1988. Currently it serves as an exhibition and concert hall. The performance was warmly received by a most enthusiastic audience of specially invited guests.
