I'm going to see Rafaela Carrasco. Really hard to choose.

You might see good guitar playing in any of the shows. Last year I went to see Gerardo Nunez at the festival. Obviously brilliant guitar, but what wasn't publicised is that Carmen Cortes would also be dancing, so I got a double treat.

Whatever you go to, you gotta write a review for the rest of us!

Ailsa,

If you can manage it try and see Israel Galvan. His performances have always amazed me. Also El Farruco, last time I saw him I was blown away ! For cante I am sure Marina Heredía's show will be fantastic. Whatever you choose it all looks fantastic.

Pimiento,
I'm going to see Luis de Luis dance on 29th Feb at the Chumbera. If you are going let me know. And Emilio plays Eshavira this Sunday night if you fancy it. If not lets do lunch......

Kate
