If you are ever in the Los Angeles, California area on Sunday's you can catch some of the best Flamenco performances!

Name: Fountain Theatre - Forever Flamenco Show
Address: 5060 Fountain Ave.
City: Los Angeles
State: Ca
Phone: 323-663-1525
Website: The Fountain Theatre
Description: The Fountain Theatre is a small venue and food is pretty much small snacks and coffee so make sure to eat a good dinner before arriving. Parking is a bit tough so arrive about 20 to 30 minutes early, don't worry you will not be waiting alone as usually there is a line formed already to get tickets! What the venue lacks in food and parking it makes up with atmosphere inside the performance area. With limited stadium seating everyone gets a great view and the room is really not that large so the sound is great. People in the audience really get into the show as usually they are huge flamenco enthusiast and performers as well. Unlike concerts that are a bit uptight and silent, Flamenco shows at The Fountain Theatre are a great experience.

One of the greatest flamenco venues we ever came across was the ancient Penny Theatre in Canterbury.
The owner had installed 20 tons of sand beneath the oak stage, and along with the wooden and plaster galleried space, it provided the best acoustics anyone could want.
We played it twice, just for the pleasure, and then it invariably fell in the hands of a barbaric brewery chain which destroyed it. It is now a brain-deadening 'Scream!' pub for students to drink tasteless lager and strawberry flavoured vodka in.

The Penny Theatre sounds like it was a great place. At least you can say you enjoyed it while it was there!

Tasteless Lager? Kind of like that horse piss we call beer on our side of the pond? I feel for them, and you!
