Flamenco Express 30th Anniversary Tour. November 2026
With José Franco

For thirty years, Flamenco Express has existed to allow the best artists total freedom of expression on British stages. A constant demonstration of Human values in an age of intimidation and fear, and therefore more liberating than ever.

Flamenco Express presents tonight the hypnotic power of José Franco, hot from the hottest Madrid stages. Plus ‘sizzling soloist’ La Joaquina, guitar virtuoso Chris Clavo, and the massive vocal presence of Antonio El Pola.

Always a night to remember.

José Franco

An unstoppable force of modern flamenco, creating productions of his own in Spain. and for international tour. Including Flamenco en el siglo XXI (2016), A Sola2 (2018), Tablao (2021) and FlamencoVID (2022). In 2023 he premiered Equilibrio, with an international tour of the United Kingdom, and in 2025 presented a European tour of El Lienzo de Mi Baile.

A formidable artist at the height of his powers.

Cuttings

“Leading the dancers, La Joaquina, tiny, urgent and intense, explored a vast emotional vocabulary, and juxtaposed vulnerability and tenderness with violence and aggression. Her feet rattle off tempestuous beats, her sinewy arms snake angrily and her taut body is totally driven by her feelings.” - Emma Manning. The Stage

“Unlike some of the splashy and slightly pretentious star-name shows at the festival flamenco, this performance is totally direct; immediate, involving and completely beguiling.” - Exeunt Magazine

“Delighted the audience, who rewarded them with rapturous applause and encores. “ - Dance Europe
