FLAMENCO The reason I wake every morning!

About Me

A BIT ABOUT CUFFY
by Jojoh
Although his roots are firmly in Scotland it seems Cuffy's Soul belongs to Spain
An early love of music led him to the Guitar & a brief & torrid affair with heavy rock with the band 'Black Friday'
But once he discovered FLAMENCO GUITAR, it captured his imagination & it became his TRUE LOVE.
His passion for Flamenco music took him on several trips to Spain to study & his life has been immersed in flamenco ever since.
Playing with other musicans, dancers & Singers & constant practice has resulted in cuffy becoming a very talented & versitile player with a deep understanding of Flamenco
