Maybe someone will record it and link it to this post. Hopefully you got most of the way through before the buzzer?

Hola Tomas

I think this is it.

Let Me Entertain You

Mon 21 Aug, 4:30 pm - 5:15 pm 45mins

After a nationwide search, Brian Conley invites all-comers to perform and entertain his discerning studio audience in any way they choose for a possible £1,000 cash prize. [S]

I look forward to seeing it.

Hi Tomás,
Great that you did it anyway!
Publicity is publicity..
Any publicity is better than no publicity when you are a pro IMO!
Especially on BBC2! Wow!
Forget what the program audience thought..
Imagine the thousands of unsatisfied young guitarists watching it who will think...
Man...that's really cool actually...
I wonder how he does that strumming stuff?

That's how it starts..

Be prepared for more pupils..

cheers

Ron

RE: I'm on BBC2 (in reply to Tomás Jiménez)

Tomas no i know its a greate idea i just was talking about the details of how you were going to decide who was elligable to enter the competiton, thats all i mean.

quote:

The dancer who dances most is from Brazil and I wonder if people understand flamenco in a different way outside of Spain. You see (and I’m sure you already know this) in Spain we do NOT feel the need to be running all the time when dancing. It is Ok to stand still. It is very Ok to be still. We say “ Hold it, hold it”. More emotion in this way.

I dont know depends on the dancer themselfs, every dancer here i know who is serious about it goes to spain and does workshops every year. And we have many dancers from spain that come back every year and do workshops showing us some of the latest choreography in Spain.

Depends on the flamenco Scene in Brasil if there are enough students to make it worth while to bring someone over for dance workshops.

so i gues it depends on the individual and the scene in theyr own country.

I am thinking of starting a competition for the new people who have only just started to play flamenco: The first one to correctly say what the introduction falseta is gets two free tickets to my next London concert!

Tomas, I tuned in yesterday but it was some 13 year old singing Nessun Dorma.
Thinking about your competition, make it more interesting: we've all got to guess what you WILL play before it's on TV?

The program seems to feature an international dance group at about 4.50pm.

I am still poised with the video recorder, my children shouted that you were on but it was a band of traditional african dancers, they thought the rythym was flamenco.......some education is required!!

Any concerts lined up in East Anglia Tomas??

Regards

Gary

Saw you yesterday. Shame about that smarmy presented calling it Flamingo and uttering nonsense pretending to speak in Spanish.
Recognised the PdL intro though. Red light and £100.

Tomás,
I watched the program for about two weeks, but some of the acts were really dire and I eventually gave up when you didn't appear.
That presenter really got on my nerves!
Has anybody got a recording of it that they can post?
Also the Sky one?

cheers

Ron

Oh Tomás! How you managed to remain polite standing next to that ignorant buffoon i will never know.
Anyway i enjoyed the guitar.
I think you should be glad that the audience voted you off after a minute or so- the one time I watched it the acts that stayed on the longest were so dire and the musicians with any talent were buzzed off quickest. Sad but true!

Tomas,
Tell me more about that wee clip mic you had at the sound hole of your guitar? I've seen these used before, but what is it and are they any good?
