Anyway before I can pay you any compliments I have to check with my husband first.

Gotcha!!

'wonder what kind of compliments Ailsa was thinking about..?

Nice review, Florian. I think the editor missed the point, however, not just extraordinarily talented, but the "best".... These journalists simply love to write inflamatory and scandalous articles, don't they?

thank you gj Michelob

yeah they sure do..u never know what to expect, u never know how they gonna see things...this time it worked out nice for us (well better then nicely) its too good

about 3 weeks ago i just read one where a guy totaly ripped into a friends show, i am relived and happy...i dont really buy what she says but i can use this for future advertising and its not a bad review so thats a bonus

plus i am gonna milk the "extraordinarily talented" to the dancers until they go blue in the face

...infact i am printing me one of this to carry in my wallet, incase they need reminding

no no no

its not what u think...that joke started in the "duende" thread

Fantastic!

If there's any room at all left in you for more ego, I'd like to mention that, for myself, you're essentially the one reason I can think of to visit Oz =]

wow thank you guys..:-)

no ego jonk, i read enough good reviews of bad stuff to know this means nothing lol but id rather i get a good review that means nothing than a bad one..

I should mention that even tho he didnt get a mention Alo was brilliant, we worked 50 - 50 on everything...one guitar could never do what 2 can..

And Mari Olivares the female singer acctualy carried Miguel who didnt know what was going on most of the time ..but did it with confidence

That is a very supportive review Florian! And it surely must be a good feeling that they liked it.

This article appeared in a newspaper last year. The title is "Countrymusic, Rock and deep feelings" - with deep feelings they meant our performance

can you believe that?

. But the article is not about us, but about the festival as a whole (2 other groups). The violin player in the right is also a dancer btw.

thank you guys

very kind..expecially u john..i dont feel like i deserve it, i dont know if you ever do.. but its very nice..if anything i feel a litlle gulty that other who deserved a mention didnt get one..

quote:

i was getting jiggy with it

quote:

can you believe that?

ofcourse i can

i noticed editors love chitchy, catchy, chezzy, stereotipycal stuff...regardless of what you tell em they are still gonna write from their prespective of what flamenco is...and flamenco is one of this things..everyone whos never paid any attention to it thinks he knows..EVERYONE ..

, u walk up to anyone in any country and ask .." do you know what flamenco is ?" not one will say no

i still get people who dont know anything about it but have seen a movie once or something telling me what flamenco is after my gigs...while i have to stand there and smile and politely nod

but you got a great photo in there man, thats excellent

yes its a crazy amount of work, i did the last one, i am gonna take some help for the next one..ironically the one time your playing should be really good...playing or practicing is the last thing on your mind

quote:

thats like a resume for musiceans, festivals request it most of the times to consider you for their festival...basicaly any media u have that u think might help you get the job..

bio, reviews, photos, audio, dvd, letter it has to be in a phisical form when sending to festivals etc...they wont come and look at your myspace ....they gonna have all the packs togheder and they gonna decide..
so for things like that reviews matter, and i am glad i got a nice one i can use...saves me having to lie

just like resumes its all overblown **** anybody can make up or writte anyway...

Congrats Flo!
Your playing was "soulful, authentic, and magical" - what more could anyone want?

There's even something for Ailsa there:
"...all the allure that comes with being a confident, knowing woman of a certain age".

P.S. What did Paco say about the show?

Congrats! Nice Article !
Must be a good feeling to be in the Breaking News !

I wish someone would also write something positive about me one day.

The only thing you read about us iranians in the news are suicide bombing, ahmadinejad and terror attacks

I know Arash i got the same thing...everytime i read something lately its something bad about romania or some romanians

pisses me off that news paper idiots dont think about consequences of their stories...what honest romanian folk or iranian folk have to leave with ..all because they decided to make them about countries when it should have been about people and their deeds...draged a whole country in ...but they never think of the prejudices they create against people that live in their own country and have never broken the law........well nothing major

Mafia bank raid

By Ellen Whinnett | May 16, 2009

Article from: Sunday Herald Sun

INTERNATIONAL gangsters have stolen the bank details of hundreds of Victorians in a fraud set to become the biggest in Australian banking history.

A mafia-style Romanian crime gang obtained the account and PIN details in the past two months.

They flew into Melbourne and fitted secret card-reading devices to hundreds of automatic teller machines in Victoria and across Australia.

A Sunday Herald Sun investigation shows the gang escaped with millions of dollars, later spent on lavish homes and luxury cars.

The fraud looks set to escalate, with police confirming gangs often do not use the illegally obtained details for months - leaving victims unaware they are about to be theft victims.

Eleven Romanians have been arrested.

The Department of Immigration and Citizenship is cracking down on Romanians attempting to enter Australia on tourist visas in a bid to thwart the gang
