The Red Lion at Castle Eaton is putting on a Spanish evening on Friday 18th March 2022.

I am delighted that they have booked me to play Spanish guitar from 7.00pm.

Deciding which pieces to play

At each event that I play I try to gauge the mood.
No two events are identical.
Sometimes it is clear that the audience are enjoying the happy Rumba type rhythm.
Nonetheless they may also like softer sweet melodic pieces.

Perhaps I will start with pieces such as the famous Romance Anonimo.
Although people may not be familiar with this title as soon as I start playing, they recognise the melody.

As the evening develops, I will play some flamenco pieces of South American origin.
There will also be some styles of Moorish and Gipsy origin.

I like to play pieces of Spanish guitar music that have enough weight to stand out but that are not too over complex.

Examples of my playing

You can listen to soundtracks on this site and perhaps watch some of the videos.
The truth is that both only give an idea of some of my music.
I have tended to show the very flamenco flamenco styles on this site because these are my speciality and not always easy to find here in the U.K.

However, on the evening I will play a whole range of other lovey pieces to compliment this lovely Spanish evening at The Red Lion, Castle Eaton.
