About / Biography

High quality authentic Spanish Flamenco and Classical Guitar Music with Options of one or more Flamenco Dancers

Available Options

Solo Spanish Guitar playing:

  • Although I am happy to be flexible to your needs my own preference is to play Concert Standard Spanish Flamenco, some light Latin Style pieces and if you like a few Classical Pieces.
  • Some pieces are very high energy and impressive while others are very beautiful with a more reflexive mood.
  • I want to provide very high-quality Spanish guitar music for your event that is also very accessible to non specialist and specialist listeners alike.

Flamenco Guitar with Flamenco Dancer (one or up to three)

  • My flamenco dancers are Spanish, trained in Spain and of a very high standard.
  • The performances are usually flamenco dances interspersed with solo guitar playing and duets of guitar and castanets.
  • The dances are almost all very strong and passionate with one or two dances being coquettish.
  • The flamenco dancer would need a wooden floor so that you can hear her footwork and a place to get changed (especially as she usually brings more than one costume).

Because I play both Classical and Flamenco I offer very different kinds of peformances.

  • Some of my clients prefer a lovely serenade where the music is gentle in the background and helps to create the warm atmosphere for their evening event.
  • Other clients have an event at which they want plenty of energy and they tend to choose either solo flamenco guitar or a mixture of solo guitar and energetic flamenco dancing from one of the dancers that I am so fortunate to work with. These dancers are always highly trained professionals.
  • And yet again other clients prefer a mixture of romantic melodious Spanish classical pieces as well as exciting Flamenco Dance, Castanets and Guitar.

The choice is yours.

The following things never change:

  1. When I provide music entertainment for a private client I provide the same high standard that I work hard to give in the public concert hall situation.
  2. I will always play on a very high quality concert guitar and my clients often comment on the quality of the tone of my instruments.
  3. I prefer to over dress unless you require otherwise; so suit and tie is my standard.
  4. My flamenco dancers dress in beautiful professional flamenco costumes from Spain.
  5. I will always turn up early and give you value for money with no rush to get away.

The performances can be:

  1. Solo Flamenco Guitar pieces
  2. Solo Classical Guitar pieces
  3. Both Flamenco and Classical Guitar Pieces
  4. Flamenco Guitarist with Flamenco Dancer
  5. Duets of Flamenco Guitar and Castanets
  6. Flamenco Guitarist with two Flamenco Dancers

We can discuss with you to put together the Spanish Flamenco or Spanish Classical performance that you would like
