Liam Howarth
Born in Franсe, but English of origin. From a young age he falls in love with flamenco and as soon as he can, he comes to Seville. He discovers the guitar and he enters in the Cristina Heeren Foundation. There he studies with Eduardo Rebollar, Niño de Pura, Pedro Sierra and Paco Cortés. Then he continues to learn, among others, with Manuel de la Luz, Salvador Gutiérrez, Manuel Parrilla, Antonio Rey and Miguel Pérez.
He moves through Spain and Europe with his guitar on the shoulder (Axa Auditorium in Barcelona, Jonnie Scott's Jazz Club and Lost Theatre in London, La Fábrica Flamenca in Toulouse).
He has shared the stage with artists such as Concha Vargas, Edu Hidalgo, Antonio Moya and David Pérez and has participated in competitions (Ciudad de Ubrique, Villa de Guillena) and important festivals ("Flamenco Pourpre" by Bergerac, "Comme un Festival" of Toulouse, Buxton Festival, I Alternative Flamenco Festival of Seville). In October 2014 he joined the cast of the show "¡Viva el Café Cantante!" with which he has participated in the Auditorio la Alberca de Murcia and at the Tio Luis Festival, the Juliana de Madrid and the I Festival Flamenco del Jaroso (Cuevas de Almanzora).
He masters the guitar technically and has a clean and imaginative touch.
In addition to the different shows of which he is a part, he currently works in different tablaos, peñas and theater halls in Seville such as "Orillas de Triana" or "La Milagritos".
