Introduction

Hi,

I play viola, oud and guitar, but mostly perform free improvisation rather than follow any particular genre. I recently bought a blanca guitar--I prefer the sound over any other type of guitar even though I don't use it for flamenco. I've always loved flamenco ever since I heard a Deben Bhattacharya's field recordings made in Andalucia many years ago. I especially like the Zambra style that has an Arabic influence, and also prefer the players and singers from early on in flamenco's recorded history. I look forward to learning from you all.

Thanks.

Hi,
My name is Vincent Cadigan from Jersey in the Channel Islands. I studied Flamenco guitar with Philip John Lee around 1965/66 when he lived in a flat above a shop, a butchers I think, in a pretty rough part of Birmingham.
I only had a few lessons when I was 16, during the School holidays, but he taught me so much. I still play the pieces he taught me.
So sorry to hear he passed away.
