Parking needed
I have my own amplification but are happy to use yours if you prefer.
I need:
If alone:
One normal upright chair.
Close to an electric socket if using amplification
With flamenco dancer:
Wooden floor or similar to hear the flamenco footwork
Close to an electric socket
Two normal upright chairs without arms as flamenco performers traditionally start from the seated position
Somewhere to get changed
Yes, I bring my own amplifier and microphones.
Ideally, as much information as possible about:
Where to unload and then park at venue.
If the location is remote or with a weak mobile signal, then information to help find the venue.
Can the venue provide me with changing facilities, especially important if I bring a flamenco dancer.
I prefer my clients to choose their own background music.
In Britain it would have been at The South Bank, London. In Spain playing at the upmost important flamenco festival held at La Union.
Flamenco Guitar: Paco Peña, Paco de Lucía, Vicente Amigo.
Classical Guitar: Andres Segovia, John Williams.
I started playing as a boy back in Spain, usually accompanying flamenco dancers and singers. Later giving solo recitals.
This is simple: any event where people really do enjoy Spanish Flamenco and or Classical guitar.
Set up: 45 minutes
Performance times:absolutely flexible depending on your needs
Yes, but I need shade and not direct sun.
Yes, I usually discuss the repertoire in advance of the event date.
My clients who have a special interest in Spanish Flamenco guitar usually refer to the high concert standard but that my repertoire is also fun.
