Ailsa -> New website (Oct. 15 2008 7:14:17)

Hi all,

Thought you might be interested to see our new website, done by my husband Dave. Designing websites is a sort of hobby - he revamped Anda La Musica for Kate and Harold, and did Emilio's new Escuela one. Apparently he enjoys spending hours in front of a computer typing in code [&:][&:][&:][:D]

The site just for information to help people find out what's going on in this area - not to make money in any way. But we are going to try and keep it as up to date as possible. Where other sites already have good information, we have just put a link to them - no point in duplicating.

Please take a look. As it's brand new I'd welcome feedback - of the constructive sort, obviously!![:)][:)]

Hey Ailsa,

I haven't had time to have a proper look but on first glance the site looks excellent.

Its easy on the eyes which is a must for me. The colours and presentation feel great. It also seems to be full of content already!

Had a quick look at the books section and thought you may want to add this one to the "About Spain" section.. or you may just want to read it?

I've just read this whilst in Spain and it was a really good. I'd recommend this to folk with an interest in Spain/Civil war/Andalucia (no flamenco in it unfortunately)

Very nicely done and easy to navigate. Dave has a very good design eye. Please can we have links to andalamusica and to Emilio's website. Also thought you could put up pics from the concert and classes you organised as well if you have any. And with an eye on the future you should offer to help people get their flamenco holidays and classes arranged :)

Ah yes one of my favourites as well. I remember reading Cider With Rosie at school. I had a great version with the whole set in but it seems to have gone from my shelves ( I really should not lend favourite books) and dont think its in print any more. 1] Laurie Lee's autobiographical trilogy - Book 1:"Cider with Rosie" (1959); Book 2:"As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning" (1969); and Book 3: "A Moment of War" (1991).

I wonder how much flamenco was going on in the Civil War. one of my favourite films set in this era is Ay Carmela about a troupe of performers who cross through the war zones.

Hey Kate, when I bought his 'mid summer' book a couple of weeks ago, I saw all 3 of those books available in one book in the Borders on Oxford street! I guess its not the same as the 3 book set you were referring to but they are definately in print.

.......Just had quick look on their site and here it is, third down on list.

Yes that's one,

Oh but I hate buying books I already had. But it is a classic.

Another one from earlier Spain is Gerald Brenan's "South From Granada" which is great.

This has just been reissued after being out of print for some time. It's on my 'read in the near future' list.



Fergusito -> RE: New website (Oct. 15 2008 15:02:06)

This is just what I've been looking for. Do you list or are you willing to list events that happen outside of london??
Oh where is the vin~a in tring?

Yes absolutely - we can have a Brighton section! Just mail me anything you want included.

Sadly Tring is in the wrong direction for you I think - it's near Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire. I've been doing some dancing there on their flamenco night on Mondays. Beautiful place and nice tapas.
