Kate -> RE: Paco Pena in Brighton - Review (May 8 2004 17:46:31)

Hi Paul, Nice to see you on the forum. Simon does a great job here. I was sorry to miss you as well in Brighton but enjoyed meeting Tony and John. Also glad you liked the material, there is a something for everyone in there, cante, baile, guitarra, percusión, piano. And all respeccted and experienced performers. You have my number so call for a chat any time. I'm talking with Tony about getting Emilio Maya for the Lewes Guitar festival, he has quite a few committments already in August but I know he wants to do it. He also may have the opportunity to play live on BBC Radio which would be great for his new CD, 'Temple', which you will already have heard some rough mixes of. It does appear that Paco Peña has the monoply when it comes to flamenco in Britain. Though he has worked hard to do it and he is a good guitarist and works with good people. I was surprised that he played 5 shows, and am not surprised that they did not sell out. Thanks for the low down. I was told by a promoter recently that unless it was Paco de Lucia or Joaquin Cortes people simply would not come, so I'm glad to hear its not as bad as that. Look forward to meeting you some time. Good luck with Kandela. Kate
