ORIGINAL: Stu A great evenings entertainment which i enjoyed with Adam (ramparts) Actually, it's just Adam now [;)] Yes, great show! The festival on the whole was phenomenal. I caught Vicente, Gerardo, and José Mercé (Stu was at all of these and also one of the dancers). All of them were wonderful in their own way. Vicente was his usual self, very melodic, soulful, a lot of emotion in that concert. Gerardo was pure flamenco, even when he was going off the walls (he's more than made up for his injury; every absurd alzapúa run was followed by a brief break while the crowd roared its approval). The concert ended with about twenty minutes of non-stop fiesta por bulerías, it made me want to pack up my stuff and hop on a one-way flight to Jerez! José Mercé was having the time of his freakin' life up there. He mentioned that he always had lots of fun performing in London, and it showed. He was full of life, and had a huge smile on his face at the end of every song. I was super pleasantly surprised to see Diego del Morao was accompanying, which I didn't know until he came out on stage. What a combination! Each of those concerts was followed by at least two, usually more, foro members converging in the local Red Lion pub.
