Shame on the promoters of this Barbican concert as it was not a sell out for Juan Martin a master of the flamenco guitar. Having seen him before I expected both superb guitar playing and a true ensemble atmosphere: I was not disappointed.

The quality of playing was outstanding across a wide range of styles and tempos. As usual Martin helpfully explains the background to the styles of flamenco being played. Equally charming is that the other members of his group are always given a chance to shine. His own compositions were stunning particularly the arabic themed tune. Great concert!
