**Flamenco Express** returns to Britain with a new cargo of raw, heart-wrenching flamenco – with ‘sizzling soloist’ ***La Joaquina***, guitar virtuoso ***Chris Clavo***, the massive vocal presence of ***Antonio El Pola***.

Tonight, another trademark Flamenco Express British Star Premiere in the shape of award-winning choreographer and dancer ***Juan Carlos Avecilla*** from Cadiz.

Currently working with flamenco legend Maria Pages, Juan already has a formidable record of prestigious Spanish awards and international productions.

In 2015 he created Melómano and debuted his own show “Tic Tac Toe” at the Institutos Cervantes in Chicago and New York. He presented his own work in Toulouse in 2019, and at the Festival de Jerez 2021 and Madrid en Danza 2022. A fiercely confrontational but deeply contemplative artist whose ambition is to 'find the self in which my truths converge'.

***El Pola***

Known for over twenty years as a formidably talented singer dedicated to the purest flamenco, Antonio El Pola has grown to fill the greatest stages, performing with many legends of the art, such as La Chana, Paco de Lucia, Juan El Camas, Concha Vargas, Antonio Moya and Juan Castor. A true custodian of the flamenco history.

Plenty of people come to Los Angeles looking to make their California dreams a reality. But zzzahara has always been here, turning reality into a dream. Born and raised in Highland Park, where they still reside, zzzahara (the solo moniker of Eyedress/Simpsguitarist Zahara Jaime) has witnessed both gang-blighted and gentrified L.A. along the same geographical blocks. Like the transforming city itself, zzzahara has undergone massive personal changes, their characteristic stoicism giving way to a newfound sense of purpose. Liminal Spaces, their debut LP from Lex Records, explores a life hanging in the balance between memory and possibility over frenetic Johnny Marr-esque guitar jangle.

Breaking into the mainstream during the Miners Strike of 1984, Billy Bragg has been an active voice-of-the people for 40 years. Renowned for his acerbic political anthems as much as his searing love songs, Bragg has chronicled the pulse of the nation across his 18 studio albums.

Billy Blagg – aka life-long fan James Anthony – sings the songs and tells the stories behind them in this intimate one-man show, intertwining the heartache and humour, politics and passion of England's finest political troubadour.

Since 2017, intimate candor has defined Chelsea Cutler’s artistry. The Platinum singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and engineer chooses her words very carefully and, ultimately, sings with a novelist’s attention-to-detail. Following the Gold-Certified fan favorite “Your Shirt,” she captivated with acclaimed albums, How To Be Human \[2020\] and When I Close My Eyes \[2021\]. She also teamed up with Jeremy Zucker on the collaborative brent EP \[2019\] and brent ii EP \[2021\], yielding the Platinum-Certified “you were good to me” and Gold-Certified “better off.” Generating over three billion streams and selling out worldwide tours, she also has lent her voice to tracks with Quinn XCII, Louis The Child, The Band CAMINO, and Noah Kahan, among others. Beyond acclaim from Billboard, Variety, Wall Street Journal, NPR, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, E! News, UPROXX, Consequence, Refinery29, HYPEBAE, and L'Officiel, she performed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Late Late Show with James Corden, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and Today, to name a few. Now, she knows exactly what she wants to say on her upcoming third full-length album. After sharing fan favorites “Men On The Moon” and “Stay Anything,” the latest single “I Don’t Feel Alive” highlights her unfiltered honesty front-and-center and sets the tone for what’s to come on her new album, Stellaria, out on October 13th \[Mercury Records/Republic Records\].

BETWEEN FRIENDS exists as an experiment in boundless creativity from the brother-sister duo Brandon and Savannah Hudson. Together, they nudge the boundaries of experimental pop through a glitchy, eclectic sonic environment anchored in a musical partnership formed in their earliest childhood. In 2018 they emerged on the internet encapsulating the experience of adolescence over synth-laden bedroom pop. It’s a theme that weaves their discography together, evident on their debut EP we just need some time together, which catapulted them to international acclaim through standout track “affection” amassing over 600 million streams. In 2021, as a reaction to the confines of lockdown life, they transformed pent-up pandemic energy into i like when you shine!, a futuristic ode to the endangered art form of the mixtape. This was followed by their multimedia EP CUTiE, released in 2022, which saw them create a series of surreal, lo-fi visuals. Shortly after, they embarked on their sold out first tour, which included a performance at the Governor's Ball, and allowed their online community of fans to finally convene in 3D. Now, BETWEEN FRIENDS usher in a new era where the walls of their technicolor fantasy world splinter to reveal their most intimate songwriting to date, grappling with love, longing and heartbreak in the digital age.
