In a scintillating fusion of heart-wrenching vocals, explosive footwork and virtuoso guitar playing, Jaleo Flamenco returns to Southport with their latest new stage show ‘A Compás’, brimming over with the intoxicating rhythms, palpable energy and joie de vivre which has become synonymous with the company.
‘A Compás’ (in rhythm) charts an evocative musical journey through the diverse flamenco regions of Andalusia in which some of Spain’s finest award-winning artists combine their talents in a mesmerising tour de force to produce a unique spectacle of universal appeal which encapsulates the very essence of flamenco.
‘Flamenco at its very best – a succession of short, sharp human dramas which quicken the pulse and excite the senses’ – Dance Today
‘Spellbinding fusion of acoustic guitar, rhythm, songs, handclapping and ignitable dance’ The Guardian

About The Atkinson
The Atkinson is Southport’s beautiful new home for music, theatre, art, poetry, literature and history, right in the middle of Lord Street in Southport. Significant investment has been made in refurbishing the stunning 19th century buildings, to create a really welcoming multi art-form venue with a strong contemporary feel.
The Atkinson offers an exciting and varied destination for families, cultural tourists and arts enthusiasts alike, with a full day and night time offer. Wile the day away visiting the new shop, that sells gifts and contemporary crafts from regional makers and then relax in the Bakery, choosing from a selection of artisan bread sandwiches, cakes and sharing platters. You can even take little bit of The Atkinson home with you from the delicatessen. Wonder through the major exhibitions and see performances from some of the UK’s foremost musicians, actors, performers and companies, films, family activities and much more.
For the first time, this summer, The Atkinson has its complete offer open to residents and visitors. The new museum Between Land & Sea : 10,000 years of Sefton’s Coast tells the story of Southport and Sefton as well as the area’s dramatic maritime history. While the Discover Ancient Egypt (home of the Goodison Egyptology Collection) , displays our stunning collection of archaeology not seen for over 40 years.
