Tomatito played twice in Copenhagen!! HELL AND ****IN ****!!! It takes only 2 hours by train from where i live!!!
Listen.
Early this vinter i contacted Tomatito management who answered belive it or not. I told them that there are a huge intresst in this kind of music in sweden. They said that they had thought about sweden but that it would cost to much money to send 9 people to sweden playing only small festival and Jazz clubs. Then he shows up in Denmark!!!grrr!! It´s only a month since he played.. TWICE!! Two diffrent dates.... I have the money to just leave everything to go and see him
!!! i feel the urge to break something!!!

Henrik, I feel sorry for you, but you must understand that Denmark is a lot more important than Sweeden when it comes to art and stuff like that. I mean, what do you actually have in Sweeden besides forest (skog...jävla skog, pripps blå ock tjock korv på ICA grillen)
Now, please don't kill me, it's just a joke. and you're right, it's not fair.

That's rotten luck Henrik, I know how you must feel. When I was in Tarifa in the '70's I was getting bored hanging around the beach, so I bought a paper and went back to the pension/bar place I was staying at. I got a beer and opened the paper and to my amazement there was an advert for a Paco de Lucia concert in Cadiz, on that day and in just a few hours time....!! I ran to the owner and asked her where and when I could get a bus to Cadiz. She pointed out the window and said "Right there....that bus that's just leaving right now". The next bus wasn't for 2 hours and that would have been too late for the concert... I couldn't believe it!! Come all the way to Spain and miss PdL.. live.. just up the road!! If only I'd bought the paper half an hour earlier... Goddamit!! &~@£$%!!!
So I know how you feel!
Then again...I was strolling around Madrid one evening, at a loose end and passing by a theatre I saw a notice saying that Sabicas was playing there, one night only. Jeez... my mind boggled...I thought he was in Mexico..?? I looked at my watch and it was like right now!! I ran up to the box office and they gave me a ticket. So I went in and saw The Maestro himself.... and it was great!! Win some lose some...
cheers
Ron

Ron, If that was in 1974, then I was at that concert. That was before the sextet. He play solo the first half and was accompanied by his brother Ramon the second half. You missed a good concert.
I think I posted here that a couple of months ago I missed Tomatito in Utrera. I'm living in Utrera and had the night off! Needless to say, the next day I saw the advertising posters everywhere.
