Yeh, it's a safe programme and in these times that counts. They should maybe have one night where they showcase some up and coming talent and big it up so it sells. I'm glad that Tomatito is playing again as I missed him last time round. Just seen Farrucito with Paco - I'll be up for that as it will be a different show with him and presumably family too.

true, but as i can only get to one or two shows each time (train fare is price of ticket again, and journey takes about 3 hours!) if they have the same programme each year eventually i get to see all of them!

(It was Farru, one of the younger brothers with Paco). Not sure who will be with Farruquito but often the family, hopefully Mara Rey singing and possibly Antonio Rey on guitar.

Indeed, you are right. I'll need to get on the website pronto and sort things. Friday was expensive but it was such a treat being in the front row. I usually do the whole session up in the gallery at SW. It's cheap, but I might push the boat out after this exp.

Yeah, kind of 'high-brow' stuff but Tomatito is never to be missed and can really hold such a venue though I miss Moraito so much and the wonderful Chocolate.

Got tickets for Tomatito and can,t wait as never seen him in 25 years since I bought his Lp (as we called and bought music back then) Vicente Amigo in the same venue last was an eye opener ,2 hours of nearly all solo music or leading the group and not a single tremelo ! !

I've also got my ticket for Tomattito's show. Closer to the date lets organise to meet after the show for a drink or two if folks are up for it. It was nice to put faces to the names previous years😊

who bought the one ticket so far on the front row for Tomatito?
someone here?
i just bought a couple of tickets in the row behind.
I bought two behind you ... his stage left ,me on the right just of centre to hopeful look along his guitar as he plays .My fault if all I can see is his head ! Was at the back corner of the stalls last year for Vicente Amigo. Not good view. Fantastic Music . Shut my eyes for most of the concert and though I,ve got most of his recordings I became a bigger fan that night.
Enjoy.Alegrias!!
