UK premiere of flamenco guitarist Daniel Martinez's new album and production, a fusion of flamenco guitar, singing and dance.
Daniel Martinez brings Al Compas del Querer to Brangwyn Hall on Thursday 18 March 2027, the UK premiere of his latest album and production. It's a flamenco guitar show, but it's not just the guitar — he's bringing singing and dance into the mix, and he describes it as his most intimate work to date.
The set follows the story of his life, from childhood and his first steps into music to illness, family, love, and the eventual building of his own company. It's a personal one, with the music tracing the people and moments that shaped him along the way.
Since 2023, the Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company has played to sold-out UK audiences with three productions. The debut album, Art of Believing, won the Herald Angel Award at the Edinburgh International Festival; Andalucia followed with five-star reviews; and Art of Andalucia toured throughout 2025 to strong acclaim. Al Compas del Querer is the next chapter after that.

It's playing at Brangwyn Hall on Guildhall Road South, one of Swansea's landmarks. The hall is named after the artist Frank Brangwyn, whose British Empire Panels — originally intended for the House of Lords — hang there. Over the years it's hosted Deep Purple, The Police, Queen, Kiri Te Kanawa, and Pavarotti, and welcomed figures like Mother Teresa. This is the UK premiere of the new show, on 18 March 2027.
