We have a proven track record in East Lanashire, running lovely Flamenco sessions - free, and open to the whole community. I'm a profesisonal Spanish guitarist, born in East Lancashire. I thought I'd never make it as a guitarist, as I've had so many barriers to overcome in the classical guitar world - economically and socially. Highlights include playing at The Royal Albert Hall London, and also headling the Manchester International Spanish festival. I'm passionate to share my knowledge of the guitar and also the routes in for people - whether that be for wellbeing or for a profession. So many people don't get the chance to play - because of financial or emotional or social barriers.
With my partners - Arts Council, PRS and Music for All, I have the connections to help people - not only find time to play - but also sourcing instruments and lessons - for free.
