Flamenco is a Spanish musical genre with strong, rhythmic undertones and is often accompanied with a similarly impassioned style of dance characterized by its powerful yet graceful execution, as well as its intricate hand and footwork.

Amarita Vargas Flamenco
Amarita and her group provide a stunning, vibrant flamenco show which brings dynamism to any event whether corporate or private. Top level musicianship and choreography combine with elegance and passion in a high energy performance guaranteed to 'wow' your guests.
"Amarita Vargas provided us with what can only be described as an amazing experience of Flamenco music and dance. Organising the Christmas Ball for ATKINS was the first task I was given soon after joining and I really wanted to make an impression.
As soon as I contacted Amarita she made sure she took into account all that I wanted and then suggested some ideas that were in tune with my requests. She also visited the venue prior to the event and liaised with the manager to ensure everything would run smoothly. She was punctual for the event and gave a really spectacular show with a live singer and guitarist. She involved the crowd and really wowed everybody.
I would whole heartedly recommend Amarita to you. I would definitely use her services again because not only is she an extremely talented young lady, but a true professional and a pleasure to work with"

A Touch of Pop!
Byron Johnstone
Solo acoustic guitar playing featuring specially arranged pop hits, well known classical tunes and lively displays of flamenco
Byron’s repertoire of up to date and specially arranged pop favourites alongside interpretations of flamenco, classical and original music make him a refreshing choice at weddings, private functions or business events, he can add that finishing touch to special occasions, or provide background music as guests dine or enjoy drinks and mark a bespoke occasion with music from a professional guitarist who has performed for many, from national media occasions to audiences at The Royal Albert Hall.
Byron Johnston is gaining increasing acclaim for his unique brand of flamenco fusion and highly original artistic approach to guitar performance. He is rapidly becoming a rising star of the acoustic guitar in the UK music scene following the release of his debut album ‘Oceano’ which fuses elements of contemporary, world and flamenco guitar music and has been a featured release on itunes.
Byron started playing guitar when he was eight, his passion and love of music seeps from every pore. Having studied at the Academy of Contemporary Music, he has had the benefit of being taught and influenced by some of the world’s leading acoustic guitarists of our time.
Byron performed as a soloist at the Royal Albert Hall in the summer of 2006, which coincided with the release of his debut album ‘Oceano’. The accompanying live DVD gives a visual illustration of Byron’s unique playing style and shows just how he forms a direct connection with the hearts and minds of the audience.
A superb technician and a charismatic presence, Byron’s individual style and affable nature make him a wonderful addition to events when a delicate and sophisticated accompaniment is needed to create a relaxing setting.
For more boisterous crowds, Byron incorporates looping layers of guitar and drums developing a musical tapestry before his audience, delivering the sound of an ensemble as solo artist. It’s an impressive act that needs to be seen. This ground breaking use of modern guitar techniques, makes for magical and almost unbelievable entertainment. In performance Byron delivers many of the most technical aspects of the guitar having pioneered his own style of performance designed to give an audience much more than they expect.
“Both Richard and I really appreciate that you turned up on time, set up without any fuss and then played the most wonderful music. It was just beautiful and we could have listened to it all evening. It really did set the tone of the event - so thank you a thousand times. We have received so many thank you cards for the event and they have all mentioned the music that you played”
