Hmmmm. Guess it didn't work so I'm posting the text:
Hi Jim,
Flamenco in Granada.
On Thursday night the Peña in Granada is open to the public and worth a
visit to see who is appearing. I was there last night to see El Melchor de
Cordoba. There is also talk of a group of us getting the place on Friday
nights to put on shows and talks about flamenco for the public. If that
happens I'll let you know, but its worth going to the peña anyway to eat and
sit on the terrace and find out what's going on. Some saturday nights are
open as well.
I think the caves are worth a visit just to experience the Zambra. I have
only been to one, owned by our friend Juanillo, La Venta del Gallo which I
would recommend, in the heart of the Sacromonte. I was pleasantly surprised
at how much I enjoyed it. Harold s going to sort out their sound system next
week which will help a lot. The other is the Reina Mora at Mirador San
Cristobal, they may even catch Ana Calí dancing there, which I am told is
the best.
Apart from that it is worth checking out the tourist office in case there is
flamenco at the main theatre, Isabel Catolica and also Teatro Alhambra,
which has the wonderful series ' Flamenco viene del Sur' and has enabled us
to see people like ' La Susi' 'Tomasito' "Tomatito" and more.
Then there are the smaller clubs. One is called The Upsetter on the River
Darro in the Albaicin, small, cramped, smokey but you can catch El Niño de
las Almendras there, or Jaime 'El Parrón' or my friend Pilar dancing with
Marcos on guitar ( both teachers at teh Carmen Las Cuevas). They are good at
advertising and there are always posters all over the place. Another is the
Eshavira, my second home, again, cramped, smokey, late shows. Its to be
found between Calle Elvira and Gran Via down a small alleyway, La Cuna de
Postigo, if you find Hotel Athenas on Gran via go up the side of it and take
a left down into what looks to be a building site. If in doubt ask. Shows
are on late Sunday night, get there for 11 to get a good seat and dont move
till midnight. They also have jazz on weds nights.
Hope this helps and that your friends have a good time. I just had visitors
who fell in love with the whole ambience of Granada and saw their first
flamenco show, a dancer Kiko Amaya, at the Eshavira. Coming from London they
could not get over how friendly and open everyone was. Also as he is a
drummer he was fascinated by the compás and soon fell in talking with the
cajon players, in sign language of course :)

Thanks for posting that up Jim, it's a bit out of date for summer when things close down, such as The Eshavira, well the bar itself is open but no shows are happening. Right now and all of Auguts Mario Maya's show is on at the carlos V in the Alhambra. I went the other night as many friends are in it, Emilo Maya, El Moreno, Juan Angel Tirado, Rafa and Rafaela Habichuela. I took a friend from London who enjoyed it a lot. Juan Andrés Maya is the principal dancer. My favourite part was when Rafaela, the singer, dances with death.
As for classes Fergus ask at Carmen las Cuevas. I now that Emilio and Ana are too busy for classes right now but you can get contacts for most teachers from Las Cuevas. Anders may have some ideas for guitar teachers. Also ask Simon about Alberto, he should have his number or can call me to get it.
Hope to see you if we get a chance but I'm off to the coast with my family for a nice break by the sea.
Kate

Un fortunately I don't know much about teachers. I haven't had classes for years myself. But everyone speaks well about Alberto, so give it a try. At this time of the year, Carmen de las Cuevas should be the best for dance classes.
You can call me (958 485 118) if you feel like comming to Quentar and see my workshop. We can do a few bulerias and stuff as well.
Anders
