Well I survived it!! First of all thanks to those who sent me messages of support and encouragement - I was really touched that you remembered! Jenny, Richard (marrow3) and Simon (peghead48) were also there, so they can give their own account, but I think the evening was a success. Not due to my playing, but because it was a great atmosphere. In the end I only did 3 of my sets - I say only but that was still 45 minutes! Of course I was reeeeeeeeally nervous, and I fluffed some notes. But generally I got through all my pieces without any dreadful mishaps Best of all was that lots of others also performed in between my sets, which was great - Jenny played a fab Farruca, Richard played some bulerias, and Rafael's wonderful Rondena. Richard also played a couple of numbers as a duet with Abelardo. Simon played Rumba and Bulerias. John played a couple of numbers including Seguiriyas. Then I persuaded Jenny and Abelardo to play Sevillanas for me to dance to (good of Abe because he'd never played Sevillanas before!). Richard, Abe and Jenny improvised a rumba, and the evening finished with Jenny and Abe with Rafael, playing bulerias. So it was a great evening. The restaurant managers were very happy and have agreed to have us back next month! So if we can keep the interest up, it will be a monthly meet in Oxford I have to admit in the days leading up to it I was regretting having volunteered to do this - it was a **** of a lot of work getting so many pieces to performance standard. However now I've done that, it won't be so tough next time. So hopefully I'll be able to post regularly about how it's going. I didn't have time to take any pics myself, but other people did and if I can get hold of some I'll post them.
