If you missed the Flamenco Thief in 2022, make sure to be here this time, we are most excited to be welcoming him back.

A UNIQUE BLEND OF GYPSY-JAZZ, RUMBA AND SKA FUSED TOGETHER WITH INTRICATE FLAMENCO GUITAR TECHNIQUES

Craig Sutton, better known as The Flamenco Thief, is an English guitarist whose phenomenal rise within the DIY music scene has seen him become one of the busiest touring artists in the country.  Specializing in fast rhythmic guitar playing Craig has earned a reputation for mesmerising live performances in which he uses a Spanish acoustic guitar with the Boss RC loop pedal to blend modern rhythms with time-honoured flamenco techniques.  A particularly resourceful musician, Craig also utilizes the guitar as a percussion instrument, layering metronomic hip-hop beats by carefully beating the body; creating a unique energy that few solo instrumentalists manage to achieve.

Craig’s early influences of ska, hip-hop and gypsy swing are evident throughout his music, helping him to craft a catalogue of songs that are intelligent but accessible.  Craig’s compositions revere Flamenco’s heritage while embracing music technology and as a result each song is delicately poised between the classical and contemporary.
