Hi All

Been on the site for a while but not introduced myself.

I am a psychologist by trade and live in Bargara on the east coast of Australia.

I have been playing flamenco for about 4 years, generally teaching myself - battling through Juan Martin and Graf-Martinez. I play flamenco because it is my form of meditation.

Like many here I seem to be the only one in the area playing flamenco. Luckily there is a brilliant teacher 300 kms away - and I do manage to get a lesson in 2 or 3 times a year.

I watch the forum and pick up great tips and enjoy the fellowship which keeps me motivated!!

To Flamenco!!

Hey ten thumbs,

I am in Perth on the West Coast of Australia,,,same deal...limited flamenco scene...some pseudo flamenca players aka Leibra ottman...I am retired pro drummer, returning to guitar after 40 year hiatus...I have had some lessons from the one and only teacher (that I know of in Perth) and also scan the internet for lessons. Enjoy Youtube also...

Cheers

Hey russellt2.

Good to hear from another Aussie.

Luckily we do have a flamenco scene in Brisbane (only four hours away) with Flamenco Fire and Sarazu. During the Woodford Folk Festival there is some flamenco on the fringes.

All the best
