Hi Ron, All good ideas and I do a bit of this, find people classes and location scout for photographers. To build it into a money maker would take quite a lot of work , time and dedication, and there's quite a bit of long established competition and I guess I just need a quick financial fix :) so I can concentrate building up the studio business, record company, and tour promoting, which is why I was looking at work in London. Starting a new business anywhere is a long slog, but doing it in a foreign country is harder and add the fact we are talking flamenco, well I came to the conclusion long while back I must be mad. Still we have a meeting tomorrow about funding for the record label, and at least we have our first record ( not counting the Taller de Compás kids) which continues selling and getting interest. An articles appeared this week in a German online magazine http://www.ole-flamenco.com/Magazin/magazin.htm ( for those who read German) and also in a Spanish magazine for English speakers called 'The Broadsheet' ( on sale in Spain only but I'll see if I can scan it and get it on our webpage) and Emilio is getting lots of radio play and the title track ( the minera 'Temple') is being used for a bullfighting TV programme every week. I've seen bulfighters with tears in their eyes listening to this track. So anyway we are hanging in here. I just sometimes dream of a salary ;) Kate

well I came to the conclusion long while back I must be mad. Well Kate, I suppose a person seeking a bank business loan based on breeding N.African Hairy-Footed Gerboas, may have the edge on any Flamenco based project. LOL! Thing is, we can all think of good business plans, but if that's not what you want to do with your life then they are worthless. Making money is a necessity in life, but sometimes folk are mistakenly led to believe in making money as a goal. The fashion in oil-rich Aberdeen used to be cars, house extensions, conservatories and very expensive exotic holidays. Now the latest fashion (so I'm told) is to brag about how much money you lost in the Casino last night. Yet the same folk have huge mortgages, credit cards with £20,000+ owing on them, expensive cars bought on HP and countless store cards, so they can keep up with the latest styles. What these guys do is take their present income, anticipate future pay rises and then multiply it by their expected working years as if it's going to go on forever, looking at the total sum as their present net worth! I've lived here for a good while now, and regulary see that it only takes one slump in the Oil price to see all the redundancies and all the insolvencies, marriage breakups and misery that follows. Here today, gone tomorrow. They'd be far better buying a guitar and taking on the challenges that has to offer. Or just doing something their heart tells them to do. Much more rewarding IMO! cheers Ron
