Welcome!

Hi and welcome to my new blog on Essex, this blog will take you through all the exciting events, eateries and explorations that our county has to offer us.  Hopefully opening your eyes to new things, inspiring you to visit new places and share tips!

Having always lived in Essex (except for a couple of years in the south of France) I feel that I am fully qualified in showing you the delights of our county, based in the newly appointed City of Chelmsford.

To start us off, is one of my favourite venues mixed with one of my favourite hobbies - the Civic Theatre and Flamenco TOMORROW NIGHT!

"Internationally renowned Gypsy Flamenco dancer Jairo Barrull and his dance company are making their UK debut here in Chelmsford. This explosive show reflects Jairo's unique gypsy flamenco upbringing and his very unique personal style of footwork, a style pioneered by his father Ramón Barrull in the 1970s and later adopted and extended by Jairo into his own style. Originally from Seville, Jairo has been performing since he was seven years old. His family are the well known 'Los Negros de Ronda', whose artistic legacy stems back to the 18th century."


Flamenco is one of my passions, I love to watch the earthy dance, and I am also a beginner flamenco dancer.  It is a beautiful dance, so if you get the chance and are free tomorrow night then do make your way down to the Civic Theatre for some authentic Spanish delights - you will not be disappointed!!

If you want more information on Jairo then click on his homepage: http://www.jairobarrull.com/

And if you want to get some last minute tickets then go to: http://www.chelmsford.gov.uk/barrull and the tickets cost fifteen pound - an absolute bargain for a man who has performed before the Pope at the age of thirteen! My review will follow in the next couple of days.
