Julian is a flamenco guitarist from Oslo, Norway, who has trained with renowned flamenco guitarist, Paco Peña while studying in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. At age 15, Julian signed up for lessons with flamenco guitarist, Bettina Flater, who upon her departure to Spain, recommended he study with Jesús Panea Morente. During this time, young, self-driven Julian also studied hard on his own, and learned much from online sources, such as the instructional videos of Jason McGuire and Adam Del Monte. While this certainly developed Julian’s self-discipline, it was no replacement for knowledge imparted unto him by Morente, who showed him the importance and skill-set required for accompanying flamenco dance and singing, and who encouraged Julian to pursue training in Spain and via Peña’s conservatory degree program. It was at the conservatory where Julian refined his skills as a dance accompanist through the rigorous mandatory accompaniment classes and by accompanying dance classes during his extra-curricular time.

At Codarts Conservatory, Julian was also exposed to classical music that ignited an interest in composition, most specifically, in that of the Baroque style. He continues to develop his knowledge of composition, music notation, theory, and ear-training.

Julian is now a permanent resident of Canada and co-runs CalúJules—Flamenco Plus with his spouse, Claudia Aguirre. In 2018 they founded KW’s first ever flamenco festival—the Little KW Flamenco Fest and offer classes in theory, guitar, accompaniment, and dance year-round.

Welsh-born dancer Josie Sinnadurai began studying flamenco as the age of just 3 years-old, taking up ballet and contemporary dance shortly afterwards. She trained in contemporary dance at the prestigious London Contemporary Dance School, graduating with a 1st class degree, and went on to complete a Masters in Dance Performance. Upon graduation, Josie joined the National Dance Company Wales as an apprentice dancer for their 2015/16 season, touring the UK with them. But Josie’s zeal for flamenco still burned strongly inside her, and after her contract with the company ended, she moved to Spain to pursue her career as a flamenco dancer.

Josie trained intensely at the world-famous Centro de Artes Flamencos Amor de Dios in Madrid as well as at several schools in Seville and Jerez with many of the top names in flamenco today, including Rocío Molina, Belén López, Inmaculada Ortega, María Juncal, Marco Flores, Isabel Bayón, Rafaela Carrasco, Ursula and Tamara Lopez, Domingo Ortega, Irene "La Sentío," "El Oruco" and Angel Muñoz.

Highlights from Josie’s career include performances in Spain and Germany and tours of Canada, Israel and Britain. She was the invited guest artist at the first edition of the Little KW Flamenco Fest back in 2018. Othercareer highlights include: directing and starring in her full-length show, "Estudios,"commissioned by the Festival Flamenco de Montreal; touring with her group Flamenquines; performing with renowned gypsy flamenco musician Agujetas Chico in "The Aguja Project;" and dancing in Woody Harrelson’s Hollywood film "Lost in London." Josie has also performed at the Flamenco Festival du Capitale, the Festival de Jazz de Montreal, the 15th Annual Blackout Festival, given numerous performances at the Cabaret Flamenco de Montreal, Pedestrian Sundays at Kensington Market, the Féria de Abril de Cardiff, and danced at established tablaos in Seville including Flamenquería and La Madriguera de Mai.

In 2019 Josie joined the Welsh National Opera for their 2019/2020 season as the flamenco/tango soloist in the UK tour of their new production of Carmen—a role that was created on her. She also founded her own all-female flamenco group, Brujas Flamenco, with whom she toured the UK in 2019; and is one of the founding members of the new ballet company Brecon Festival Ballet.
