"There’s a local connection to this marvellous presentation of Andalusian culture. Daniel Martinez studied flamenco guitar from the age of seven in his native Cordoba and played in the city’s tablaos before moving to the UK in 2015 and establishing his guitar school in Edinburgh. His flamenco troupe has two Scottish guitarists and one of this production’s pieces expresses the happiness Martinez has found in Scotland but the music and movement are undiluted Andalusia. The venue even obliged with Andalusian temperatures, making dancer Gabriela Pouso’s intense and astonishingly precise footwork all the more admirable. There’s music in Pouso’s feet and her close coordination with Martinez’ brilliantly nimble and massively colourful musicianship would have been worth the ticket price alone. That, though, would have robbed us of the fantastically expressive singing and the violinist's superb articulation with his bow. The concert began quietly, with Martinez playing alone, soulfully evoking a calm before the storm. And what a storm: three guitars in intricate partnership, violin and voices soaring as the singers added typically urgent and musical hand clapping and Pouso embodying the music’s vibrant physical presence. Bravo indeed."

"Apart from being serious professionals, the singer has an exquisite voice and the guitarist is a brilliant musician. They brought a special energy to our day, managing to create such a beautiful atmosphere! Performing all the songs that we like but in acoustic format in such a sweet way. We fell in love with them at the first moment and our guests were amazed that we had such good musicians performing at our wedding. Thank you!"

"Aire Flamenco has dispelled my preconceptions of what Flamenco is. Even when frenetic, there is finesse to the stamping, akin to the quick shuffle of a tap dancer. In fact, it is grace under fire as despite the furious footwork you might see and hear, there is restraint in movement, most noticeably in the wrists and fingers which always remain gentle and languid. And that’s not all I learnt about flamenco, while watching Flamenco Sol. Aire Flamenco is a melting pot ensemble of performers who boast a combined wealth of international experience. Sunday’s performance featured Marcus Perrozzi (percussion), Justin Kutylowski (guitar and vocals), Raquel Avellan (dance and vocals), Valeria Gonzalez (dance) and Maree Laffan (dance). Through Flamenco Sol, this talented troupe invites the audience for a brief tour of the world of Flamenco. In Flamenco, almost every prop has a purpose, nothing is just ornamental. From the taps of the baston (cane) and the sliding flick of the hand fan to the flowy bata de cola (skirt) to accentuate the twirls of the dancers. Even the humble clap and slap of what looked like an ordinary wooden box stool played their parts in providing a rich musical experience. I was drawn in by the farruca, with its assertive and sharp stamps contrasting with the soulful, emotive voice of the male vocalist. I also enjoyed the fan dance, which was truly mesmerising to watch as each opening and closing swish of the fan partnered perfectly with the beats of the percussionist. For an introduction to the world of Flamenco, Flamenco Sol is a must watch. I know I’ll be keeping an eye out for future gigs by Aire Flamenco."

"Hi Alan, Re: Review for our wedding on 01.07.2022 at Old Thorns, Hampshire Alan played for our ceremony and drinks reception. He helped to create the perfect atmosphere on the day and we had so many guests commenting on how brilliant he was. He went above and beyond for us by learning specific songs for our special day on our request. Nothing was too much and he was so accommodating and flexible. It was very easy to communicate with him in the lead up to the wedding and we really appreciate that he worked with us when we had to postpone the wedding due to covid. Would love to book him in the future for any other events we have as a family. Barbara and Tom"

"Every time we are in Nerja, we try to attend a Pablo Alcázar concert. Also this year, on 10.02.23, we were allowed to attend a concert again and, as always, we were enthusiastic about his musicality and his guitar playing💪. We wish we could hear him again here in the coming years. Our greatest wish would be a concert with Pablo and the two musicians from Café del Mundo, Jan Pascal and Alex from Germany, who have already performed here. Michael Moser (From the original in spanish) Cada vez que estamos en Nerja, intentamos asistir a un concierto de Pablo Alcázar. También este año, el 10.02.23, se nos permitió asistir a un concierto de nuevo y, como siempre, estábamos entusiasmados con su musicalidad y su habilidad para tocar la guitarra💪. Deseamos poder escucharlo de nuevo aquí en los próximos años.
