Celebrated virtuoso of the flamenco guitar, Juan Martin, will appear at The Platform in Morecambe on Thursday September 11.
Juan Martin is a native of Andalucia, where he still has a home in Malaga. He spends much of his time touring as well as in London where he has formed his own international company for the promotion of high quality flamenco coming direct from Andalucia. He has recorded 18 albums, mostly as a composer and has several DVDs distributed by Warner Brothers and Mel Bay. His original method book 'El Arte Flamenco de la Guitarra' is in its eighth print and has opened the complex art of flamenco guitar to the world. It is now considered to be the 'bible' of flamenco guitar.
Juan performs with a highly distinctive compositional style formed from his early years in Malaga and developed through wide experience in Madrid, including direct contact with Paco de Lucia. Further experience and polish came through recordings with the Royal Philharmonic and live performances with artists of the calibre of Miles Davis. The Spanish paper 'El Mundo' said of him "He has a terriifyingly good technique and an absolute dominance of the guitar, filling the concert hall with crystalline clarity".
The show will start at 8pm and tickets cost £14 adults, £12 concessions from the Box office on 01524 582803.
