PACO HEREDIA (Barcelona 1979), is a flamenco guitarist born in Barcelona descended from guitarists. At the age of 3 he starting playing his first guitar and to this day, this gypsy guitarist describes it as "a fundamental part of his life". 

Paco Heredia receives a traditional formation from his childhood and guarded by his family, accompanying singing and dancing. At the age of 14, he continued his studies and entered the Liceo de Barcelona where, in the face of the teacher Enrique and Granados, he stands out for his skills and qualification in his discipline. 

He compiles his studies with various performances, in the Tablaos of Barcelona and abroad. She has worked in Tarantos, in the Tablao of Carmen Amaya, in tablao Cordobés, in addition to several flamenco Peñas de Cataluña. In spite of his youth this guitarist soon stands out to gather in his touch the glitter at the same time as the purity, legacy of his family inheritance rooted in the most genuine flamenco tradition. 

His facet as a composer leads him to musically direct theater plays such as "Bodas de Sangre" by Federico García Lorca, including "Lola Vende cá" by director Llorens Soler. 

Constant appearances in television as well as the diffusion of his own works, through Theater or concerts make of this young guitarist a constant of the national flamenco panorama. 

It should be noted that due to his merits, Paco Heredia became the Director of the Flamenco Department of La Escuela de Córdoba. 

Paco Heredia Torres has worked with Paco de Lucía, Montse Cortés, Guadiana, Duquende, Jorge Pardo, Ginesa Ortega, and La Genára to name just a few... He has toured across Germany, Kuwait, France, Switzerland, Slovenia, and Austria. In 2006 he recorded his first album, produced by "Juan José Suarez" Paquete, winner of the Grammy by Aguadulce de Tomatito, and "Picasso in my eyes". 

'Paco Heredia belongs to the pool of flamenco guitarists post Paco de Lucía: he represents that generation of guitarists whose musical grace is both rhythmic and harmonic' (flamenco journalist Ana Sánchez in La2, a Spanish national TV Chanel) 

BART STENHOUSE has the muscle to settle any score. Musically speaking, that is. Packing a powerful ability to balance raw edge with feel good grooves, Bart’s music brilliantly blends fiery flamenco with cool jazz and rollicking Indian rhythms to create a sound that leaves the listener energised and ready for more.  

Bart started on a musical journey from an early age. However, it wasn’t until recently that he found his true calling – world fusion music. Inspired by his travels across North America, India and Spain, Bart’s music explores the signature harmonies, rhythms and instrumental identities of different world music cultures. 

Wielding his weapons of choice, electric and flamenco guitar and electric mandolin, Bart teams up with original artists across the globe to explore and craft soundscapes not heard before. An experienced producer, Bart records and releases his compositions under his own label, Stenhouse Records and in 2014 brought to the world his debut album ‘Blue Benares’. Hailed as ‘one of the best up and coming jazz fusion artists’ by Indian slide guitar maestro and guru Pandit Debashish Bhattacharya at the 2016 India International Guitar Festival, the young Australian composer is fast building a reputation as an original, collaborative and innovative artist. 

'Bart is one of the best up and coming jazz fusion artists right now' 
— Pandit Debashish Bhattacharya - Grammy Nominated Indian Classical Artist and Director of the India International Guitar Festival

December 2017 saw Australian jazz fusion guitarist Bart Stenhouse complete his first overseas tour with 5 concerts in India - performing as a special guest at the Khajuaraho International Film Festival with Surojato Roy on tabla and Sukhdev Mishra on violin and a series of shows in Varanasi including a dawn concert at Assi Ghat. 

In May this year (2018) Bart will bring his music to New Zealand for the first time with 10 concerts across both the North and South Islands schedule from late April to May. Head to the events page to see when he will be appearing in a town near you.

Hi Everyone. I was honoured a little while ago to learn that I was nominated for a ASIN award under the Best Composer category for the wonderful Australian short film 'Refraction' that I composed the score to with the assistance of Jacy Grillini in early 2017. 

The awards are open to the public to vote on, so please head across to the following link if you have any inclination to. Thank you folks.

After three successful national tours this year with three wonderful artists from around the world - tabla maestro Surojato Roy from Calcutta India, the amazing gyspy guitarist Lulo Reinhardt and virtuosic jazz violinist Daniel Weltlinger - I must thank all of the wonderful people around the country who have helped make these tours a success:  

My wife Nina and family, the venue/events managers, audiences members, fellow musicians, promoters, agents, house concert hosts, sound engineers and many many others...
