Juan Martm returns to perform classic Alhambra masterpiece


byTonyDewhurst wvi/w.thegrandvenue.co.uk Box office: 01200 421599


CELEBRATED virtuoso of the flamenco guitar, Span­ iard Juan Martin, returns to Clitheroe's Grand theatre on Saturday, May 11th (7-15 pm doors, 8 pm stage).


The cast of Boltonrby-Bowland Drama Group’s latest play inaction attheir dress rehearsal.


Constance and Roy have two objectives in mind, to find out who these three women are, and persuade them to settle for lesser amounts of money.


The performances will start at 7-3opm in the village hall and


tickets are priced £6 (children under 12, £3) available at the doororfi-om 01200 447048 or


01200 447406.: They are also available from the Coach and HorseHotel,thevillageshopand Clitheroe Tourist Information Centre at The Platform Gallery.


Martin has been called one of the greatest guitar play­ ers in the world, and his lat­ est project explores the roots of flamenco through Moor­ ish and Indian gypsy music, Sephardic song and his own flamenco style. . “Flamenco is like a potent


drug, when you’re really in­ volved with it,” said Martin. “ T h a t ’s i t , fo r l i f e . Even when you go to other places you carry it with you and you don’t feel right unless you have that music with you.


“It’s becoming universal, a


bitlikejazz.” As well as helping to spread •


flamenco around the world, Martin is also known for reaching back into the mu- : sic’spast.


- “I’m intensely in te r ­


ested in the history of f lam e n c o ,” he ad d ed . “Spain had 800 years with the Moors. Buildings like the Alhambra Palace in Grena­ da reflect that, the mixture of Andalusia and the Moors. “Architecture, music, many things. That fascinated me so 1 went to places like Tunisia and Cairo and looked into that mu­ sic quite closely.” Martin has drawn from


many influences, adding: “I’ve done compositions with Gordon Giltrap, Richard Thompson,-and the late Rory Gallagher, the great Irish rock guitarist. “Most of all, though, 1 find


it inspiring to write and play.”


. MartinwillplayTheGrand in the company of a four-piece ensemble, also re-visiting his classic album. Musical Al­ hambra, with flute, percus­ sion, clarinet and saxophone complementing his beautiful guitar playing. ,Headded:“Itisafascinat-


ingmix of artists, with Louai Alhenawi, a ney reed-flute player from Damascus, and guitarist Abdul Salam Kheir fromLebanon. “I played Clitheroe as a so­


lo artist previously, but I was very keen to come back be­ cause 1 really liked the feel of thetheatre. “1 doenjoyplayingthatpart


of the country because the au­ diences are very kind.” . Juan Martin’s Musica Al­


hambra performs this Satur­ day, May 11th, at 8 pm (doors 7-15 pm, £16.50 advance tick­ et). .
