| Latest News (Updated 5/3/2008) Thanks to everyone who supported us and Studio Flamenco at the 1st Adelaide International Guitar Festival. We have some great video footage of the event, which will appear soon on the music page. Flamenco dancer Kristy Manuel and I got married on November 17. We are now working on our first major public show as a duo (see "Chispa Flamenca" in the gig guide to the right). My album "Chispa Flamenca" is available at Adelaide music stores Blue Beat, Big Star and Don Andrews, as well as on the web via the link on the left. Thanks to Adrian van Nunen for the design and Solveig Larsen for the sketch, and to Artsa who supported the project. There are samples from the album on the music page.
About me I am a guitarist who has had a long running infatuation with flamenco. This has led me to spend time in Spain following the traditional apprenticeship of accompanying singers and dancers, studying with maestros and playing at juergas (parties). Eventually I was able to work at the dance studios of Javier Cruz and Mari Angeles in Seville, and since coming back to Adelaide, Australia I have continued to work with local singers and dancers. | |||||||
