Think I know where I'll be this May...

In Madrid at the Suma Flamenca Festival! I have 5 days and can't see everything I want. What do you guys think:
Where would you be?

The schedule is real mean though, with only 5 days I have to choose between the 12th 20-21st or the 25th, so anyways I'll be missing some great shows

But hey, the glass is half full anyways...

Also I'll be taking lessons with Jerónimo, I'm already starting taking notes on everything I wanna ask him and learn

Yup

Will probably be my last chance ever at doing such a thing, I'll take lots of pics and vids for you guys. I decided 12-25 for Miguel Poveda and Estrella Morente or 8-12 for Pitingo, Cigala, Menese and Tomatito. Of course 8-12 is a lot more but oooooooh Estrella Morente

So are there workshops going on too? I can't see Jeronimo on there - have you found him separately? So many questions, but it looks so good, and if you could do workshops in the day it'd be great!

I'm proud of you and happy to see it

Jerónimo gives private lessons at his house! The info is on his Myspace site. I decided to spend 5 days there, go for a 1-hour lesson a day and have the concerts in the evening.

Too bad it doesn't look like any workshops will be there...

i'm really amazed every time i hear somethign like that

its odd to think that someone sooo titanically huge, so monstrously big in our minds, feels free to post lessons at his house offers on myspace lol

i guess he is a real person then eh?

just really an eye opener for me there lol

Just been to his myspace but am at work (I know, very bad...) without broadband so don't have enough time to look properly - I did notice he's online now though!

It'd be great to get lessons from him - he was very good at the masterclass in London - but I'm going to wait til I can play better as I reckon you'd benefit more. Feels like it'd be a waste of his time to go as a beginner. I dunno...

Work calls,

Jenny

Well, a Madrid flight is expensive compared to Jerez with RyanAir, not to mention Madrid itself is expensive anyways.

I was worried somebody like him who was already accomplished at such a young age would have trouble teaching it to others, but I was really suprised at how good he was for all levels - just wish I'd had more time with him for the advanced stuff, which is why I'm making up for that now
